I had a soil vent pipe going up into my roof and out ceiling but had a bathroom renovation done and the plumber removed the pipe - cut it to a short length capped it and boxed it in. Since then I was noticing my washing machine not draining properly and dishwasher not rinsing. A different plumber said he thinks it’s because the air is getting trapped which would have normally escaped via the soil pipe?

@OfficeBoyBuilder 9 күн бұрын
Yes that could be a slight clogging in the drains...it could all be linked - without enough airflow, bits may get blocked, which leads to more gurgling.

Just a question on when you said the intumescent strip needs to be on the fire side. That’s fine when the door opens into the garage however if there is a step down into the garage the door needs to pull towards you as there is a step / trip hazard. The strip is then not on the fire side, but I can see the logic for both , not sure if there is a right or wrong ?

Thank you. Can you please do one of changing the flexible hose on the side? :) Can this be done easily as well? I'm wondering how easy it would be as the hose is decaying and rotting on mine! My water set up is different, I wonder if turning the water off gets all of the water from the pipe out, or whether it's still going to come out even with the main water valve off. Thanks.
@OfficeBoyBuilder Ай бұрын
If you don't have an isolator valve, you will need to switch the water off, either at the stock cock or at the mains on the road, and then flush the toilet, before the change over...that should get most of the water out the pipe, but keep a towel close by just in case
@joolsa6710 Ай бұрын
@@OfficeBoyBuilder thank you for the gentlemanly reply. Better leave it then! I have a valve that shuts all the water off in the bathroom, but the reason it's confusing is because it's a horizontal pipe, with a vertical bit that comes out onto an L shape and the rotting hose pipe is on this small bit coming off the pipe. I don't really understand whether water would shoot upwards if it's off everywhere else as soon as I remove the rotting hose (the hose has one of those little screws on it that also turns off the water for that bit - but I'm assuming the minute I take that hose off it would basically spurt loads of water!!). Thanks again though! ❤
@joolsa6710 Ай бұрын
I mean, presumably it couldn't really flood anything due to basic physics and gravity - and the flood risk is just the equivalent of the measurement of the horizontal amount of the L shape attached to the horizontal pipe (i.e. it's just a few centimetres worth of water). The rest of the water would simply stay standing in the vertical part of the L shape and the excess would run off. Presumably then the water would slowly fill up that part again when switched back on. However, I don't know what I'm doing. So I'll leave it!!! It's ancient. I'm basically just manually turning the water on to fill the cistern each time because of the broken fill valve (which I can replace as per this video). 😂

I’m looking to build up off a 9” solid block wall (finished in sand & cement render)using the same system as you, am I right in thinking I’ll need to let the air gap and cement fibre sheet overhang ? Would you be willing to create a plan drawing for this ?
@OfficeBoyBuilder Ай бұрын
Yes, the 25mm battens and cement fibre board do hang over slightly past the block work, and ideally hang down slightly too, to push the DPM down a bit so there is a run off drop. You can attach any bug screen to the underside of the timber battens, although our SE didn't specify one and the building inspector didn't require one. I'm guessing that's because of where we are in the country and a complete lack of building eating bugs in our area...

Question - at this point in the video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/p57dhap4nbund7csi=qmludX9aA9pmykin&t=626 ) the drop is more than 1 in 40, how is this allowed within regs? Asking as i need to drop some steep drops to get a soil pipe in over Tiered land, so what to understand best approach - i.e. i can achieve 1 in 40 but then i have to drop at 90 degrees, can i do this?.. thanks in advance
@OfficeBoyBuilder Ай бұрын
That particular pipe is only for grey water, not waste, so there isn't an issue with the drop... honestly not sure how you'd achieve it if you have space constraints.

The same person that specifies everything that needs to be done - the structural engineer. We just follow the instructions we are given, and the building inspector is happy. They may occasionally add something, but often it will be minor. If there is a major discrepancy, they hash it out between them.
