No soil stack

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.53 PM

I moved into a bungalow last year and the other day when talking to my neighbour he pointed out that I have no soil stack from the bathroom and everyone else in the street does. I have no nasty niffs, everything seems to be ok. It is not one of those loos that has a filter to it, does my loo need a soil stack, is it ok without?? Please advise Thanks for the replies guys. I have a loo with a durgo valve in an ensuite and this you can see down the side of the loo and it needed replacing when we moved in because like you say there was some nasty niffs. Replaced it - nasty niffs gone. But the one in the main bathroom goes straight into the floor, where would the durgo valve be attached in this case? There is only the outside wall on which it is attached and there is no space there for a valve. There has been no smells or problems it's just the neighbour mentioning that all the other bungalows have this pipe up the wall but not us, as I say the pipe from the loo goes straight into the bathroom floor but I don't know where it goes from there, it doesn't appear to come out the other side - confused!!
