Human faeces Leaking

[Philip28918]

Just wondered if anyone could help. I was decorating a flat today and noticed this in their garden. I don't know anything about plumbing but is this a soil pipe that's leaking sewerage into their garden? What could have caused this to happen and what would be the best course of action to take.
Thank you

The connector has fallen apart.
The plastic ring lower down the pipe that's being held up with a drain rod, belongs on the straight connector to hold the seal tight.

It needs a new straight connector fitting.

Did you do the taste test?

 

[Philip28918]

I didn't but I poked it with a stick and it was soft in texture so I ran. Is this a major health hazard? Could someone get cholera from this?

Not unless your planning on licking it bud but needs sorting out asap . kop

You can only get cholora from the faeces of someone who is sick with cholora. Hepatitus is more likely as much more common in the UK.

Maybe somebody has used drain rod to show the rubber seal, to keep their distance

To support the cast section (somehow?)

I enlarged that photo and the "rubber seal" turns out to be not that at all, but it is the plastic retaining part of the connector, broken and upside down.
Looks like someone has attempted to put it back on

No worries, was just jesting. Not my thing, I like it all contained in a White pump or small pipes.

WC & basin only?
If yes then either the Top or the Slim.

Thanks for the replies the drain rod is simply wedged between the wall and the fence (which is out of the picture ) to hold up the fence that's falling down.

Oh poo....!

 

[Philip28918]

I mean Rubbish has literally been leaking into their garden for god knows how long . How do people live like that. What's their affliction?

 

[Jim Goodenough]

Basic hygiene I reckon - to say the least..... !!!

 

[Ric2013]

Perhaps they are trying to improve their soil? I would prefer a properly-managed compost toilet to a smelly mixture of poo and water though!

Are there any tomato plants growing around the base of the soil stack

 

[Chester]

any way i can un-see this until after I've eaten?

 

[gmartine]

It does need a new coupling as suggested but it could more easily be fixed with a rubber soil pipe coupling and that would avoid having to shift the pipe vertically, just shift the pipe horizontally and slip it on after giving it a clean first obviously. I was going to suggest jet washing but then you don't want Rubbish flying all over the place, it'll have to be a bucket of suds and a stiff brush to the lucky tradesman.

Don't you guys have duct tape in the UK?
