They are talking about using an electronic wire/stud/pipe detector which is an inexpensive tool which most plumbers and handymen have; even some home diy types have them. It helps detect metal behind a surface so you avoid drilling into electrical wires or water/gas pipes. I'm surprised they make this sound like expensive rocket science, it isn't. They should not charge you for this IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazybum9 1 Report post Posted March 29, 2011 today started on tiling... went up to see the WM base specifically to ensure the base is dimensionally correct as i can only fit the WM after the pipe, but tiler took WM's depth starting from wall, instead of pipe...heng cement still wet, took some tiles out and added the small row... and plastic trap was at the top, exposed...didn't like it there so asked tiler to conceal it under... now u see it... now u don't...the tile is just put on top of the trap but don't think will touch it anymore as WM will sit on it... loved the tile colour... now think black solid top is better than red...don't u agree???

RimBlock 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Lazybum, Just a few points to note on the trap.... I was informed that HDB rules now ask for the cover of the trap to extend in to the pipe to make sure the water flows directly to the pipe and does not splash against the concrete. The tile on top, if I understand correctly what has been done as you have no pictures under the tile) will not be supported in the centre and will most likely break is a heavy weight is put on it (washing machine foot etc). Just be careful getting the appliances in. Lastly, the small gap around the tile is likely to get clogged with dust / hair / general kitchen stuff after a while. As the trap will be under the washing machine I am guessing you will not be able to clean it so easily. Sims do some nice concealed traps in a variety of colours but as there was no 'neck' to force the waste water in to the pipe underneath we ended up having to not get them.
