Hi all I was called out by the Ex on christmas morning to a leak in the bathroom. Soon identified as a blocked stack Got it jetted out , they found 5 buckets of pee gravel had blocked it Camera identified a broken blanking plate at the inspection chamber which is in the garage , which is now a room. Question is IF I remove the laminate floor , cut a whole in the chipboard floor, find the inspection chamber. Can I replace the broken blanking plate from the inside ? Does the lack of gravel around the chamber matter. Could I spray some foam or something in the gap left be all the gravel Or is it a big job ie insurance. The company that did the ridding haven't sent a bill or report yet! Al
If you can access the manhole then buy a blank from your local builders merchants, you will need to cut of the flange , and fit it with expanding foam,
