How can I recover from this

[akist]

I have been working in the small cloakroom. I am attaching photos from before pouring the slab to today.

I trimmed the soil pipe rising up from the floor and looked inside and noticed a piece of rubber caught inside the pipe.

This rubber is the seal of the flexible pan connector they used, before they poured in the concrete slab a few years ago.

I trimmed the rubber that protruded with a knife, but I know there cannot be a good seal between the orange soil pipe and the flexible pan connector.

As a solution I thought to insert a "sleeve" pipe to go down, past the broken seal, and stop any potential leaks. If the sleeve dimensions are very close to the internal diameter of the orange soil pipe (I think it is "standard" 110mm) it might fix the issue.

What do you think I should do?

That pan connector isn't suit for below ground applications. Guess you will be breaking it out before the concrete sets hard.

Is that flexi pan connector set in the concrete slab? Major **** up. Got to come out really. You say "they" used the pan connector so at least its not your fault. Building control certainly won't be happy with it.

Building control has never seen that or they would have condemned those waste pipes too, any buried foul water pipe should be 110mm, also they would usually want to see a test on it too before the concrete.

You should be getting in touch with the builders that laid all of that. It's their screw up. What certificates do you have that BC signed everything off?

Too late for that.

Was it not you who fitted the pan connector?
