QUOTE(buzdev2 @ Apr 3 2017, 04:04 PM) IWK came and result = manhole tunnel broken (under my living hall) Cant do much unless hack them to install a replacement pipe. Worst is, cant do bypass Looks like the toilet will be temporary place to sleep This is bad. If want to repair it, what are the works involve?

Had to dig it up from outdoor until pass wet kitchen where the IWK inspection chamber sits. Replace old soil pipe with PVC. Smelly and messy but it was necessary. I forgot to ask how much it cost...and what was the old pipe made of. This post has been edited by halcyon27: Apr 4 2017, 03:30 PM

QUOTE(enriquelee @ Apr 4 2017, 03:45 PM) Dig? Means hack the concrete slab? Hack floor from just in front of where the pipe embed into the ground, living room all the way to the back. Just enough to lay a new pipe. Didn't ask if the old one was taken out or permanently not used. They don't touch the floor beams if that's what you mean. The pipe would have cleared below that. It's a messy affair that's all I can say from what I heard. This post has been edited by halcyon27: Apr 4 2017, 06:58 PM

I had the same issue. Thought there was clogging involved and called up a few plumbers, only to find out that the main PVC pipes underneath had dislodged.
My plumber then had to dig up the concrete at the backyard (thank god, it was an empty open area) and went all the way down until the beam. He then cut off half of the dislodged PVC pipe, fixed a new one and connected it accordingly to the remaining pipe.
Poured back a new cement concrete and everything was back to normal!

Much work was invested in the digging part, which I found worth the money. I did it last year. QUOTE(buzdev2 @ Apr 8 2017, 10:50 AM) Hey Bro, Thanks for your valuable feed back.

If you are somewhere nearby, he may not hesitate to drop by your place. Let me know where do you stay.

I think the pipe, connecting my master room to manhole, underneath my house was clogged. It was not covered by IWK and after checking at their website, they do provide service "Clearing private blockage by Water Jettor 3500L Charge RM800.00 per manhole". It is quite expensive and no guarantee can be fixed. Not sure if there are people outside give private service at cheaper rate.

I dont think any private contractor will have the machine to clear the blockage. Is at least 8 to10 feet deep with few bends before reaching the manhole. Is not guarantee because it can be a broken underground sewage pipe and not something thrown in that cause the blockage since you are using it.
