I really would appreciate your help. I am trying to reach 100 Subscribers on UA-cam so that I can add a custom name for the channel. Could you do me a favour and subscribe to the channel: ua-cam.com/channels/KI7uTyssOCaGleIbh-40sQ.html
Great series so far, think this video missed the laying of utility pipes which is a shame. Would love to see a video in more detail of utility & plumbing pipes and how they connect to drainage / main sewer.
Hi @Dr.1sR The drainage connections are not done until the end of the build so they don't become damaged. Here is the video covering this ua-cam.com/video/Hyeom3g4VC4/v-deo.html
Hi there, connecting all foul before pouring concrete at foundation level is very clear and obvious in this tutorial. With respect to upper floors, due to the need for a vent would you also recommend that you only install one vertical "master" foul pipe and ensure all upper floors (3 storey house) in my case connect to that one master.
Hi craig sparrow, Thank you for your comment. It would really depend on the position and number of bathrooms. In the project house all bedrooms have Ensuite bathrooms. On the 1st floor the bathrooms are at opposite ends of the house. We have therefor two different SVP "Foul Water Pipes.” What we were able to do was have the pipes exit through the roof space as a slate vent instead of the pipes sticking out above gutter level on the side or back of the building. Therefor it is completely unobtrusive.
Great content. I'm interested to know about the 110mm internal soil pipes for the kitchen and other rooms. So your sink waste being 40mm would come down the back of the cupboards and connect to the internal 110mm soil pipe then pass outside to a 300 or 450mm chamber? If so, if the sewer blocks is there no chance that 110 to 40mm reducer cap can come off and leak into the room? As is passes to the outside, does it require a U shaped gully to prevent any smells or is the sink trap enough?
Hi Dan I am afraid I am not qualified to answer that question. You would need to speak to a plumber, which I am not. I am a property developer, and my job is to find off market land at the right price and hire competent people with the right skill set to carry out the actual building of the structure. Of course, I have learnt a lot about the actual building process along the way, but that was not necessary to get started. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.
Hi, Fantastic videos. I am building an extension and thinking the best way to save having the slab over the foil drain would be to come out of the bathroom and into the roof space of the extension the across and our down the wall to the existing drainage system. Is this allowed?
Hi Andrew Owen , Without actually seeing any drawings I can't be certain. The main requirement is that any foul waste has to be vented above the highest window height. The waste itself, can travel to another outlet as would be the case with 1st floor and ground floor toilets.
