Hi all,
I've got a customer with a leaking plastic soil pipe. It's outside on a joint into an elbow which goes horizontally into the wall and then the loo. The pipe then runs on a sloping angle into the main soil pipe.
I think my options are:
a)Whack a load of sealant into the joint and see if that stops the leak - bit of a bodge and I'm not sure if it would work.
b) Somehow get the elbow joint out of the wall but it's 4 inches in diameter and a bit of a job. At least that way the job would be done properly.
c) Separate the sloping pipe from the elbow - but it's glued and I think that would be difficult or impossible to remove.
Does anyone have a better suggestion please as I want to do it right!
Cheers all
