A soil stack carries waste from toilets, baths and basins down to the drain. Old cast iron stacks crack and rust, plastic stacks split at the joints, and both leak into walls, ceilings and gardens long before anyone notices. We replace soil stacks inside and outside houses across Essex, including the branches to each appliance, the vent to the roof and the connection to the drain.
What the job involves
- Survey of the existing stack, its route and the drain connection
- Written quote before any work starts
- Isolation and removal of the old stack, including cast iron
- New stack, branches, air admittance valve or roof vent as required
- Making good where the stack passes through floors and walls
- Testing every connection before we leave
How much does soil stack replacement cost?
It depends on the length of the run, whether it is inside or outside, how many appliances connect to it and how accessible it is, so we quote after seeing it. We give a fixed written price before the work starts, and it does not change unless you change the job.
Signs your soil stack needs replacing
- Damp patches on a wall or ceiling near the bathroom
- A sewage smell inside or by the outside wall
- Visible cracks, rust or a pipe pulling away from its brackets
- Gurgling from toilets or slow-draining baths that drain cleaning does not fix
