We have a lovely 86 year old neighbour. She rang up about half hour ago all of a dither because she had a leak behind her toilet.
I went into her flat and discovered that because her toilet is on an inside wall, the overflow from the cistern just goes down the back of the toilet and onto the floor.
The ball valve was stuck causing the cistern to overflow and flood the bathroom.
It was just as well she discovered it when she did or she could have woken up in the morning with a flooded flat.
What a stupid system.

Ours are on an internal wall, the overflows used to open onto the communal stairwells, very dangerous. They rerouted them to the bath waste.

That would be the answer mamy.
She doesn't have a bath as it happens. Because she is disabled she has a walk-in shower and the waste is built into the floor but the water only goes away when she has a shower and she turns a motor on to pump the waste away, so even that would not have got rid of the flood because the pump was not on.

What a stupid idea, is there any way that the toilet overflow could be routed to the wash basin waste pipe ?.

Don't worry gness. You won't get confused for my neighbour. For a start she doesn't have a computer, secondly, I cannot imagine her getting into the scrapes you get into and thirdly, she has a broad Brummie accent.
Know what Oi mean?
