My mum neighbour, same 1960’s built council house. At the back is the back door & entrance hall, directly on the right is a cupboard housing electric & gas meter plus the main soil stack for the house. It’s pretty hidden but I assume the kitchen waste, toilet & bathroom that are directly above all go into it. I’m not sure if there an aav or anything but these houses have some sort of vent coming vertically out of the roof where this stack would extend to if it kept going up.
The chap, a nice chap who did things for my mum wants a downstairs toilet as he’s now in his 80’s. He’s things in the under-stairs cupboard which is also in the entrance hall but on the left & at the back of the hallway.
The floor would need to be dug out to house the new soil pipe but would it be better to connect into the stack or just go straight out to the main soil outside that goes along to all the houses. There are no drain covers & I’m assuming the main waste runs along to each house in front of the kitchens where about 5 houses along is an alleyway with a manhole cover. It must be a good system as in 50 odd years I’ve never know it to block & be cleared.
I’ll try to draw a picture.
Any thoughts please?
Cheers all
