Hi folks,
firstly if you could somehow explain to me or help me i would be eternally gratefull
my flat and the flat above me both have the same layout, our bathroom and kitchen are to the rear and at the front is the living room and bedroom,
i have a bit boxed in at 1 corner of my bedroom ceiling and noticed that there was a leak there as teh wallpaper was peeling away and the paper was waterstained, so i removed a panel and found a big pipe this pipe comes down from above and goes thru the wall into livingroom where it is also boxed in and i presume it goes under my floorboards and exits at the side of my flat as i have seen a pipe sise hole in the wall [although in 8 years staying there i have never seen any water coming out this pipe] anyway, upstairs is a rented flat and every time they put there water on for a bath etc you get a very loud sucking and blowing noise,and sometimes a wee bit banging,i think they got a plumber in years ago to do something with there cistern if i remeber correctly so could it be that there cictern is overflowing or not filling corretly or there water tank and the water is coming down this internal pipe [overflow pipe?] and there may be a leak in it?
thanks a lot for all those who take the time to read this.
