Hi,
Hoping for some advice on re-routing my downstairs toilet overflow.
I was in my conservatory today working on re routing a electrical socket spur. When I got the skirting board off, I found there was a lot of damp evidence on the plasterboard behind. So I stripped the plasterboard off, to find the original wood on the brick still, and in a bit of a state in one area.
Noticed that the damp was originating from a broken off plastic pipe - the overflow from the down stairs loo behind the wall!
Pretty shocked that someone thought this a sensible thing to do!
I think I can find a route out through the garage if I cut it and put an elbow in to route through to garage and to outside.
My question is what pipes can be used for this? Are there any flexible pipes that can be used? It would have quite a few turns. From a quick look on screw fix, most overflow pipe was straight white lengths, 21.5mm diameter and solvent welded.
Wondered if there was a better way to approach this?
