I have just moved into a house, built about 1965-1970. The strange thing is
that the soil pipe goes into the loft but is then sealed with an end cap, I
always presumed that the soil pipe should go out the roof. It does not loof
as if the pipe has ever gone outside. The top of the soil pipe looks
correct, it looks like it was made be BAA.
Is there a danger that the gas has no were to go !
Are you sure it is and end cap? It is more likely that it is an air admittance
valve. I thnk there also need to to be a pressure relief somewhere in the
system but I'm not sure.
That's my understanding as well.
Very common to find a durgo in the loft, but there nees to be an 'open end' somewhere.
