Drains - reprise

Now, physics wasn't my favourite topic at school, however, I have enough common sense to know that water doesn't drain upwards. So when the intricate soil pipe for the new bathroom toilet was installed, with a bend which would have allowed the stuff from the toilet to accumulate at the end of the pipe, it was time to call in some expert opinion. No action would mean a prompt build-up of toilet waste and mega-grief to resolve the new ceiling in the link had been fitted. As a result, the pipe layout will now be changed by the plumbers and everything should be OK when the kit is ultimately commissioned. However, if it wasn't for an eagle-eyed client – again – checking the work on a daily basis, you sometimes wonder what you end up with inside walls, floors and ceilings. Yes, in an ideal world, you don't really want to live on a building site. The upside is that you can pick up such issues before they become a real problem.
