    Access Point for existing Soil Pipe

    Hi, I'm wondering what is the best way to add an access point to both the existing soil pipe and waste pipe from my ensuite bathroom in the picture below? Shower is draining slowly for the last month or two and now the toilet is clogging so better to tackle it now I suppose. For the waste...

    Bossing shower waste into soil pipe vs. separate shower waste

    Hi, We're in the process of upgrading 2 bathrooms in our house: the ensuite and the family bathroom. These adjoin one another. The ensuite is largely done so has all piping in situ. The ensuite required that we feed its soil pipe through the wall into the family bathroom, where it angles...

    Blocked waste pipe - Inspection cover problem.

    We have a problem with a downstairs bathroom toilet. When flushed, the water in the bowl rises, as does the water coming up from the shower drain. The water then drops quite quickly, accompanied by a rumbling, gurgling noise.... Suspecting a blockage in the soil pipe leading from the bathroom...

    Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection

    I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
