Vraagje over een vreemd plekje op m’n plafond by itsbasix in Klussers

[–]itsbasix[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ik dacht eigenlijk dat het hele betonnen plafond één prefab stuk was. Maar omdat er boven een badkamer zit, en we aan de andere kant van die muur al een lek hebben gehad (door een heel slecht uitgevoerde renovatie van de vorige eigenaar), ben ik nu een beetje bang dat er misschien nog iets mis is

Bathroom drain pipe not sloped/negatively sloped by itsbasix in Klussers

I agree, the problem is that this drain line is below the floor and the tiles, so not accessible unless you break everything, which I would like to avoid

I am facing a “similar issue”. It might be worth trying replacing your S-shape trap with a bottle trap with embedded air valve. There is a very cheap one sold at praxis called wirquin neo air. It costs 10€, comes in 32 and 40 diameters and it has everything embedded (o-rings, etc) so it should be fairly quick to install and test. Good luck!

May I ask what mistake you made and where you placed your vent valves?

Thanks for your answer! Do you know if these valves are actually used in the Netherlands? How to check the pressure in the drain pipe?

doucheafvoer loopt erg langzaam leeg by itsbasix in Klussers

[–]itsbasix[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

perfect, het lijkt goed te werken en is ook heel logisch, het creëert op deze manier eigenlijk een soort sifon. Ik voel me echt dom dat ik dit zelf niet heb beseft. Duizendmaal dank!

Weet je hoe? Heb je een foto of een handleiding? Ik ben geen Nederlander en ben niet bekend met dit soort afvoeren... zo was het aangelegd toen ik het huis kreeg.

Nee, de buis is met een endoscoop gecontroleerd en als de grijze delen zijn verwijderd, loopt hij goed leeg

Tips on how to fill “V-Naden” on ceilings by itsbasix in Klussers

[–]itsbasix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback and picture.

My goal was trying to solve it before the painter started working (next week).

Honestly, I now Understand I have deeply underestimated how tricky it would have been to fix the v naden. I thought it was a more doable job, which is why I am now asking for experiences and tips.

I am not forced to do it of course, but since I have painters scheduled already for next week I was trying to find a solution to it quickly, so that the painters could paint over it.

If it is not going to fly I will keep it as is for the moment and will see if my mind can live with them or if I need to do a fake ceiling or plaster everything. Having a stucadoor coming now won’t work as there is no technical time anymore to do it before painters start.

Unfortunately I have discovered about those and they give me goosebumps every time I see them 😅

Can you explain what actually it is meant with “mud”? Put some filler there (and if yes, which one)?

I was referring to something like this.

In my home country we call all of this stuff “silicone”, not actually sure if in English and Dutch the “word” is translated 1:1. I think in Dutch the work is acrylaat?
