    What's wrong with this pipe?

    Hi All, I have these heating pipes. I think I have cleaned them last year and there is a lot of corrosion already. There isn't any water dripping and there is no dump coming from underneath as the floor is insulated with 25mm Celotex and SuperFoil on top as you can see. What should I do?

    Septic gases in crawl space from gap in pipe.

    A family member had a sewer line collapse, which brought to light several issues with their plumbing. There is a 1/4 gap in the sewer line where a 3 inch pipe and 90 sits on another 4 inch 90 going into the ground. How concerned should this family member be about septic gases in the crawl space?

    Hi - I'm not an expert but wondered if anyone might be able to assist. I've replaced an old toilet with a new one.

    Leak on sink waste pipe

    A while ago I replaced a leaky, corroded sink trap. That all appears to be fine, I can't find any leaks with it, and everything under the sink appears to be consistently dry. The problem I have is that there appears to be a leak where the waste pipe out from the bottle trap meets the wall...

    Hide Pipe Recommendations

    What is the recommended way to conceal a 1.5M, 40mm shower waste pipe? We have 30mm gap behind the plasterboard which will be renewed. Would you chase the block 10mm or go into the concrete floor? What are the safety concerns of doing either? Thanks.

    How much solder for 15mm pipe?

    Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I have this 3.25mm lead-free grade 99c solder wire.
