Hopefully it's nothing serious. How is it possible to get that much crap into the drain? Surely they're capped off until just before tiling????

Well, lots of words and promises, but no action! oncewerefurriers That's bad news janice. Hopefully it's nothing serious. How is it possible to get that much crap into the drain?

Melsie68 wow.i remember when I had tiles redoing my tiles in the house im living in now .they washed there mess down my drains and blocked them. I would email your buider photos even if you have unblocked them The toilet is still blocked. That's just what we found in both showers, when we use the shower the toilet bubbles... Joy! Re: Aveling build in Landsdale - what's clogging the drains? 826Mar 25, 2014 12:29 am That happened to us!!! When we used the sink in the ensuite the toilet would bubble! Found out the plumbers didn't bother removing the foam packing from the pipe that goes to the vent outside? Make sure you open all windows and turn the fans on when they come...Some really good spray wouldn't hurt either Re: Aveling build in Landsdale - what's clogging the drains? 827Mar 25, 2014 1:02 am oh dear, I'm so glad I'll be at work Re: Aveling build in Landsdale - what's clogging the drains? 828Mar 25, 2014 1:08 pm Sorry to hear about the drainage.. so frustrating.. its amazing what can be found after the tradies have finished Home Group WA Monte Carlo Timeline on Page 1 Re: Aveling build in Landsdale - what's clogging the drains? 829Mar 26, 2014 10:02 am Wow so much stuff in the drain. Our laundry floor waste was filled with cement. We still not sure if its been cleared completely but not willing to tip bucket down just incase. Luckily its not in shower or anything. Id also recommend running all taps in sinks for a minute or so. Wasn't til handover I discovered scullery sink was blocked and it flooded everywhere Re: Aveling build in Landsdale - what's clogging the drains? 830Mar 26, 2014 8:21 pm Oh my goodness! You've inspired me to have a peek in to our drains. That's just crazy. Good luck getting the toilet issue resolved.

Re: Aveling build in Landsdale - what's clogging the drains? 831Mar 28, 2014 8:58 pm toilet drama continues.... finally pin the plumber down again, and he had to call the tunnel vision guy out and discovered we have a burst drain. Hopefully they will come back to fix it tomorrow once and for all. Our ensuite doesn't have a door, so the bedroom stinks... at least we're dealing with the plumber directly, doesn't have to wait for some hopeless middleman....
