Hi there,
after digging to find out how far our ensuite shower drain comes out, we discovered a crack in the elbow. Can this be fixed by diy or is this a plumbers job? The drain pipe is only buried 300mm and I’m guessing a truck has possibly run over it at some stage damaging the pipe.
Hi @Josh86,
This is considered plumbing work and requires a licensed plumber to complete it. There's a good chance that the angle of the pipe is slightly off the angle of what that fitting is capable of and over time the stress has caused it to fail.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
