Weird drain design
I replaced my soil stack vent with an air admittance valve, but when I flush the toilet the water doesn't go away so quickly (only an extra 2 seconds, but the flow now isn't fast enough to clear the **** and some floats!) and also I can hear it pushing into the nearby shower drain. At the bottom of the soil stack is some water, as though perhaps the pipe running from there to the main drains is not entirely downhill. I assume it's creating back pressure. If I flush the toilet with the vent removed, it flushes fine. The toilet is only a couple of feet from the soil stack.
I had a peek in a drain cover just outside the front of the house, and there are two drains, one for waste, and one for the gutters. The waste drain is blocked, it's full of water there. And simply flowing over into the rainwater drain! How stupid! So I've been polluting the rain drains all this time without knowing. I guess I go borrow a big drain rod.... -- Did you hear about the little Indian chief who didn't know the difference between heads and tails? He was always bringing home scalps with holes in them. |

If the blockage is not on your property, get the people who own the drains
in your area to come and fix it.

It is, it's under my front garden between two manholes. They're only a few metres apart, so the blockage should be easy to shift.

And I hope they don't mind washing machine water going into it, that was more convenient to plumb in. Or worse, the hosing down from my parrot aviary. That is illegal. Actually I've no idea where it goes, as I just ran water down it and it didn't go through any of the pipes under my own manhole covers! I guess we all share each other's drains. I also have a pipe coming from my neighbour into my sewage drain - ugh! So half that **** I just plunged out was hers. -- To truly love another, you must first love yourself. And it wouldn't kill you to wash your hands in between either. |
