Hi all, I am after a bit of advice as I am a complete ignorant on the subject of plumbing and drainage.
Just had a bath fitted, unfortunately the bath waste was directed to the gutter which resulted in an overflow and spillage all over the patio area and extension wall. The existing waste pipe travels from the bathroom under the extension roof and down the gutter but in the past it served a small mobility wet room and the waste flow was not as rapid as from the bath. Remedial suggestion was to drill a hole in external wall to put a new waste pipe with connection to soil stack just under the bathroom window or extend the existing pipe to reach the stack. Just need to mention, the soil stack is a bit far away from existing bath waste pipe and there is a gutter in the way. Are there any pros and cons to these two solutions? Also worth mentioning that the sink waste is going to be connected to the bath waste. Just worried it might cause some problems with unpleasant odours.
I would appreciate any opinions and guidance on the subject. Thank you.
