    HI folks

    hoping someone can help

    for the last few weeks when ever i empty the bath on a ground floor duplex in the hallway just out side water is coming up through the floor boards. im clueless with this stuff so i was wondering could any one tell me if it sounds like a pipe and the ground will have to ripped up?

    not sure what caused it i did have a problem with the sink not draining so i got some drain cleaner and it seemed to happen around the time i done this. Could that have caused it?

    thanks

    Can't tell you what caused it but can tell you that only way to find out is probably to dig up where the water is coming out of the floor

    Hi there More than likely the waste pipe runs from the bath into the hall way and outside after that.. id say there is a connection was made under the flooring and has come loose. ( should of been glued).... depending on your flooring it should be an easy fix.. bigger problem is your floor is probably ruined now because of the water... hope this helps..
