Hi guys, need someseasoned advice.
Had to remove a datedinternal soil stack during a bathroom refurb.
Dropped the new pvcpipe into the old ring-seal connector that's cemented in at groundlevel. Upstairs in the bathroom, I've noticed the stack's leaningtowards the appliances (enough to take a spirit level bubble justpast the markers).
Tried easing it back,but it won't go too far as the copper water main/stopcock etc.. isnear ground level and is already just touching the stack. I'vechecked the old ring-seal fitting and that's cemented in on theslant.
So looks like the oldstack (installed back in the 70s) wasn't plumb. Obviously thetoilet, bath waste etc.. will have appropriate falls, but is theleaning stack going to cause me problems?
As I've said, can'tforce it back anymore, so the only other thing I can think ok is tosqueeze a couple of opposing 135 bends just above ground level tobring the stack further out?
Cheers. BTW, it's my house, so if I get it wrong, I'm answerable to the missus.
