Hi
I have an old inspection trap which is fed both from my bathroom and outside surface drainage which then enters an old brick inspection chamber. The inspection chamber is then also fed from from both mine and my neighbours toilet foul. The inspection chamber cover is severely rusted because this was concreted over. I have a couple of questions here:
1) am I ok to remove the cover with an angle grinder as there appears to be no other option? No lift points and severely rusted as this was concreted over
2) should the brick inspection chamber be replaced?
3) if the brick inspection chamber isn’t removed I would replace the trap with a single pipe in to the inspection chamber. I presume there is no issue with this is I use a sleeve and seal it?
Any advice would be appreciated
