soil pipe stack

A few years back my bathroom was replaced as part of an insurance job. The layout was pretty much like for like,but with a slightly higher spec. During the winter months, every now and then, I'd hear the odd knock from the boxed in soil stack. This year it's significantly worse. The upstairs...

Hi, I live in a top floor flat (Flat Y) in a medium size block, with one flat (Flat X) directly underneath and commercial space on the ground floor - I share a stack waste pipe with the flat underneath. I've been contacted by the property management company who've told me the following via...

Is it possible to vent the 110mm soil pipe via 50mm waste to Durga in the loft, and thus remove the existing external soil stack vent (which is in the way of the new bathroom)? Detached property, 3 toilets, various wastes, all go into single 110mm soil to mains drain in the road, Existing soil...

i'm planning an en-suite in the bedroom beside the family bathroom (both on first floor). The existing soil stack is outside and approximately 2.5-3 meters an existing gutter downpipe and where new toilet would come out of the wall. The house is 1938 and i assume that the existing rain...

Hello, I'm reworking our ensuite which is next door to the main bathroom. I want to connect the new toilet into the existing soil pipe which runs directly under it. See the picture below for the layout. Can I simply put a strap boss on to the existing soil pipe or is there anything I should...

Hello, we are having some groundworks done and have noticed that where the concrete has been partially removed around the bottom of the soil pipe (from toilet etc), it has exposed a gap at the end of the plastic pipe which is leaking - it looks maybe like the collar on the lower clay pipe has...

Hi I've got a recently built extension with a bathroom. The shower trap is letting sewerage smells come up from it. I've been doing a bit of research and I'm thinking that the issue may be that the soil stack is not vented. The waste from the shower, bath and basin connect to this stack on the...

Hi Our soil pipe stack is leaking from a pipe joint where it enters the flat roof of our extension. I noticed a tiny pool of water on the dry roof when looking out the window today. Photos show pipe joint and leak. Upstairs taps, bath, sink and shower all drain properly but upstairs loo often...
