    Yet another great vid guys. What I really admire about your content is your attention to detail in as much as it doesn’t matter if the client can see it or not it should be right. I have had an extensive amount of work done over the past ten years by a builder I thought the same as you but just lately I’ve gone to areas where I guess he didn’t think I would go and I have come across what can only be described as ripping your client off. Needless to say I will never use him or recommend him again. You are the standard that should be met…..

      A friend of mine did a similar thing, though not quite as bad. We DIY'ed a macerator install and he decided to test the new unit by pouring water and everything he had (including some iced tea that had gone mouldy in the bottle) down the sink. He poured and poured and poured... until the pump kicked in and all the water shot out in a 2 m fountain because we'd forgotten one of the jubilee clips on that rubber elbow that comes out of the unit. We both nearly died laughing!

    im a plumber and those saniflows have there place they work if you have no other option but the main thing is to install them correctly, that one there is incorrectly installed hence the issues they have been having the outlet is mean to go up then fall away usually in a larger size pipe. Main aim of the pump unit is to get it veritical toa point it can use gravity to run away.

      Yes disappointed! At 505 of your video you can clearly see that it's a cavity built wall .
      So to reduce opening width you tooth out and extend to whatever you need just because the cavity is originally closed without dpc its your chance to achieve it use your brain 🤷 also wrong choice of lintels lintels over with no tray again use your brain 🤷 you wouldn't get away with that shit on my jobs asking for trouble .but that's upto you no need to guarantee your work, FYI you can have underfloor heating incorporated into timber joist a better option than filling 1.3m of void under again you wouldn't get away with that in my neck of the woods either due to settlement block and beam the best in that situation
      Regards Rich 👍

    Basement toilet running to the soil pipe at 45 degree fall is not correct. Redo it as 1 in 40 fall across to the vertical soil pipe. you could have the solids left behind as the water will run too quickly.

      I prefer to use quarried crush and run, 80mm down to dust. This compacts better than recycled products with no voids although more expensive.

      Hello Duncan. It's because the customer wants under floor heating, so the void needs filling underneath to accommodate. Hope you're well, mate.
