Ballache of a job replacing a WC
Putting a bog in a room that used to have one should be a simple task,
you'd think. (In a shop premises we took on a couple of years ago, upstairs gutted and largely derelict) I decided to run a new mains water pipe, shoved the pan into the soil pipe, flushed, plainly a blockage. The soil pipe had been 'capped' with tea towels which I removed (I know, what a ###ing pro) so my concern was that one had traveled. Much plunging later and we were flushing, game on. Except the flush was going into the ceiling below What a mess! Long story short, there were 2 pipes bossed into the soil stack*, left open when the place had been gutted and upon cutting out this section there was a dishcloth just slightly downstream of the above restricting the downward flow. So my advice would be to replace a soil stack (or sections of) that has anything of unknown provenance bossed into it. *Not immediately obvious, they were bossed into the rear. |
