Hi

I removed a high level toilet from my garage 28 years ago...

From memory ..i capped the soil pipe that was coming from below the concrete floor and then concreted the floor smooth...

I am now trying to reinstall a toilet....

The problem is that i can see an oblong in the concrete and have tried drilling several holes in the concrete down about 5" but i cant find the soil pipe.....
Also tried tapping the floor to see if i could hear a difference where the soil pipe is..... to no avail...

Is it likely to be in the centre of the oblong or nearer the wall......

I assume the toilet was installed in the 60's or 70's.....

Any suggestions would be very greatfully received
 
Thank for the reply...

Just found it ..
Coming diagnonally under wall ....
Already taken a chunk out of it (clay pipe)
Bloody concrete on top of it is really solid.....and propery attached to it....

Hoping i will be able to get an inset pipe into whats left of it...
Oh... and then theres the problem of trying to get the paper/plastic out of it (what i used to block the pipe all those years ago)

Any suggestions on how to get the concrete off with the least damage to the pipe?
 
Hi All

As you can see from the images below I have an issue.....

I removed and blocked the toilet in my garage 25 years ago..... it was concreted over.....

I now need to reinstall the toilet...

As you can see from the photos the pipe is damage to one side on the bend in the soil pipe....
The pipe has an inside diameter of approx 100mm

My possible bodge would be to get a flexible extendable pan coupler and see if i can get the end to seal into the soil pipe then silicon it... the fill hole with sand and put a thin 10mm concrete skim over....

Yes... i know its crude.....

Anyone any suggestions that would help.....

Oh! and by the way you will have noticed the bin bag filling the hole... its jammed soild... any sugestions on removing this would also be gratefully received...

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
