water is coming up plug hole!
a relly of mine rang me the other day & said when they run the taps in the basin the bath plug hole brings up water!
i thought the pipes was blocked so we cleaned them out now he's rang earlier to say its worse since we cleaned out pipes! have i missed something really obvious?? i did notice the bath tub is low to ground,possible the pipes not high enuff off ground???  |

Re: water is coming up plug hole!
the two pipes are linked and i think you will find the water is trying to flow up to the out side pipe causing it to back flow in to the bath re-do the pipes with the correct fall and you should solve the problem

Re: water is coming up plug hole!
Yes if there floor boards you may be able to run the pipes under them that would be the best option
