Hi all

Discovered a sewage pipe in the back wall of the bathroom, in between the bricks. Not sure if this is normal, if not the explanation lies in the two words 'glasgow' and 'tenement'.

It seems fine, I am boarding over that wall so I can just leave it, but would it be a good idea to fill it in with something? Previously there was some sort of cement which has all crumbled away, revealing this section.

cheers

G
