Last job of the day

do a re run of an internal condesate that goes underneath floorboards and terminates into an internal soil stack. 2 different areas/joints were leaking that were accessible under so cracked on and done it also asked by office to put in a s trap with removable lime chip bag.

put boiler into service mode to check for leaks on my joints, immediately starts leaking, at the top where new condense fits onto condense spigot of the boiler, ahh it's double trapped so not helpful. Put an air gap between both traps everything works fine. There is a co alarm present

my mate says he would ar that straight away. If the boiler condesate trap evaporates there's is a risk of poc leaking until the trap fills up with condesate again. Slim chance if soil stack is blocked, water could back fill and gurgle out of the air break.

i know it's not ideal but seems acceptable in m.i.s

whats everybody's opinion, be gentle I'm only on my first beer and hope everyone had a good week :sorcerer:
