I didn't realise and tested the heating which worked but then got a low flow on the boiler. It was then I realised...

    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?
