Leaking waste pipe

Aug 21, 2009 2 Replies

I am in the process of converting a bedroom into a bathroom. I have run the waste from the toilet to the soil stack, I have connected to the stack but I have found that the 4"/110mm joint is a little bit too big for the soil stack and so the joint leaks. I haven't used this in anger, just tested with water! What is the best way of sealing this joint. Is it worthwhile going for plumbers mait / silicone or perhaps a mortar type fill. Or start again? I also have found another hole in the stack which needs plugging, would the same technique work for this. Any help would gladley received. Thanks Bean


PVC? ABS? Cast iron? Asbestos?

What are your pipes made from?

Apologies The soil pipe is cast Iron, and the joint is PVC. Bean
