Leak at base of external svp

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.57 PM

Hi I have a leak coming through the cement that is inside the collar at the base of my external svp. Can I dig this out and reconcrete in? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Max

Is the soil pipe U.P.V.C or old cast? if cast then its likely you are experiencing a common problem were the mortar around the base were it connects to the earthenware has crumbled it is repairable by placing a new band seal around the cast and earthenware pipe depending on the severity of the damage. A drain camera would identify what is required

If the there is a leak on this then just concreting will not help as it sounds like the svp has cracked and will need replacing to gain the correct seal.
