The soil pipes that are underground, are they usually the push fit kind? Has anyone had an issue with the rubber seal going?
I had a chap ring me, extension 2 years ago, he dug his pipe up & said it’s leaking from the connector.
I’ve not seen it but it’s either not pushed in right, maybe it’s moved or the robbers gone
I’m thinking it’s not in right
Any thoughts?
Cheers all

Cheers all Hi mate In my humble opinion it’ll probs be the rubber seal, I used to work for the NHS and we had to fix loads of them in the hospital, also I had one fail on the main vertical soil stack in my old house Edit they were all push fit |

i agree with wingnut, Very often they are installed by groundworker, ( untrained spade leaners) very often they cut the pipe with a stihl saw and never deburr them nor test them, and their password is, " get the trench filled in before any fucker looks at the pipe" ,  |

Reminds me of a job when I was an apprentice, that's going back a bit. We was called to a site where work was going on building an extension to a factory and a large diameter sewage pipe had been found with a slight drip on it it couldn't be filled in until we repaired it. Anyway we arrived to great applause the foreman buttering us up with we've got the best plumber in Yorkshire on the job so now we'll get it done. You could see where the hepsleeve rubber had kinked and pushed out of the joint (it had all been dug out for us) and I'm thinking to myself what the fuck can we do here? Boss plumber gets in the hole and has a long look at it through his thick rimmed glasses and turns to me saying "fetch me the denso tape tappy"! He wraps it tightly round the 10" pipe and then warms it up with the blow lamp whilst smoothing it off with his hands, job done, get it filled in  ! It's probably still there today! |

Have seen those rings come loose if the pipes are jammed together without filing down and whats worse, you find out a while later that the ring has been pushed inside the pipe causing obstruction and grabbing tissue etc. Can block the whole thing up eventually.

Cheers all Soil pipes are above ground, when they disappear at ground level they then become drains Rocky  , just thought I'd share that snippet of totally fuckin useless information with you mate  . |

actually arfur its a good point, drain pipe is manufactured in a different way, It will be affected by sunlight and go brittle after a term, on the other hand soilpipe if buried, will be affected by, well err soil, although called soilpipe, it does't cope well when buried in soil, So its important to know soilpipe and drainpipe are differant pipes doing the same job, |
