I've just had to replace all the external 45% elbows on the sink and bath wastes to my house, where they connected to the main waste downpipe.
All of which had virtually disintegrated and some of them had been leaking badly for some time. Just looking at the back of the neighbours house, the elbows on his external waste pipes look in a similarly bad state
These houses are only about 12 years old or so, is it normal for plastic waste fittings to perish so badly in this time?
