View Full Version : water coming in the bath overflow?? GavM 02 September 2003, 14:52 Anyone know why i should be getting water coming in from the bath overflow? Not happened before and i have not had time to take off the side of the bath to see where the overflow pipe goes/joins to. Tonights job :( Gav mj 02 September 2003, 15:20 does this happen when you empty the batroom sink? RON 02 September 2003, 16:59 Sounds like a wierd problem, you should never get water IN the overflow, if it were coming up the plug hole then it would be more straight froward, but thats just wierd!! Mog 02 September 2003, 17:53 I have come across a few houses where the toilet overflow is connected into the back of the bath overflow to show when the toilet is overflowing rather than taking the overflow pipe outside.

It took me ages to work out why the cistern always had lots of condensation on it and why the bath continued to make water-draining, gurgling type noises ! A bit of fiddling with the workings inside the cistern soon sorted it out Good luck ! |
