    ohhh dear, this was a job and a half, the toilet was fitted like something you would find in a shed, come on these people paid good money and the aesthetics where terrible.
    setting aside the way the water was piped, the 4" soil had zero fall. This install is not fit for purpose.
    I am quoting to fit a macerator to pump the sewage to the outside.

    In all my days of plumbing, I've never seen a pipe so compacted with toilet paper. Wow!

    Hi Tony(s). Nice neat job. I changed all the taps in a friend's house for more modern type. Started in bathroom. Isolated HW in airing cupboard. ( not a combi) . Sent him off to change some taps for a low pressure type. Turned cold water off at mains and drained downstairs. Cold never stopped in bath taps or vanity unit 😳 . Went in loft and found huge header tank with several outputs. Had to tie up float valve and wait half hour for cold to stop in bath taps. Then had to vac head of water in cold taps . What a game. Told his wife not to fill her night cup of water from bathroom taps. They were the only cold taps fed from the loft tank !!,

    2 cups of tea and chocolate hob nobs, I think you hit the jackpot with this one, lol. I get the Lidl's own chocolate hobnobs, only about 77p for a 300g pack, and taste really good. Certainly a great deal of unclogging to be done on this one so will be looking forward to seeing that get done on the next gripping instalment. Could do with a bit of plastering and filling on the hole left next to the pan, but I'm sure you'll be sorting it out for the nice lady.

    Just curious to know if you have Sharkbite plumbing fittings in the UK ? I've been using them for years in Canada and they are amazing. Push on , no solder, no Compression nuts, and best of all no leaks, Ever ! They aren't cheap ,but save hours of messing around on little re-fit jobs like this one.

    • @drain-unblocker
      @drain-unblocker  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi mate, I have heard of them but not sure if available here. I think the ones I used are on the same lines, they have a seated metal washer that holds the. In place.

    I’m surprised you didn’t install a shutoff below the toilet as you were in there. Can be very useful in an emergency.

    Hi Tony x2, I really enjoyed learning and watching this. Oh my goodness. So much paper..Is that 1 of the new toilets with the little to no water used to flush? I think they are useless. You need a good flush of water to push everything along. I took my half button off my toilet..Hope there is a part 2 to this video.. Stay Safe have a great weekend from a Tassie Fan ❤️🙏👍🤗

    • @drain-unblocker

      Hi Cheryle thanks for your question, the main problem here is that the 110mm pipe is not laid to fall, it's acting more like a collection pipe.

    What pipe was that which clogged up with toilet paper? And can I ask Tony why don't you use the Picote on many jobs,I thought there would of been a good couple of opportunities to use it on this job, 1, downwards from top of stack, 2, from manhole up the stack if worm wouldn't climb .

    • @drain-unblocker
      @drain-unblocker  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi Steve, problem with this job is the pipe running alongside and between the joists has zero fall so the picote will cut it up ok but it's just thick mashed up bog paper, coagulant which has no flow. Somehow we need to get a plunger in and push it out. Time to fit a macerator.

      @drain-unblocker  2 месяца назад +1

      Pipe was hidden from view so no cover plate, cold supply so when it's filled and re painted, no expansion. Yes the job is on going I think I will be fitting a macerator

    What is the correct drop for a drain pipe ? One inch every three to four foot length ?

    • @drain-unblocker
      @drain-unblocker  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi 1:40 so 1 inch to 40 inches. To be fair there's no way they could get it to work over the distance they covered (8 meters)
