Yes, you can fix them while doing your floor screeding, there are some big man floor drain you can get in the market,

Hello my Oga in the house. I have a question about a small but quite important aspect of a house that is often over looked. Floor drain. I have noticed that they eventually become a major entry point for roaches and sometimes rodents (like rats mice)

The generic floor drain used in most homes is a big culprit. You can mitigate by periodically flushing down a mixture of sniper but you need to be doing this sometimes once every 2 months.

I once found a flood drain that has a closing spring system which allows you tap ( with your foot ) to close. Unfortunately they did not last and the closing mechanism eventually got stuck closed.

Does anyone have an idea how to have a floor drain that is designed to be resistance to pets and other crawlies. Is this something anyone here has noticed ?

Yes, this is normal when you have trapless floor drain, the trap is a water seal like the one you have in WC bowl, which prevent the ingress of foul air, and insects, get floor drain with trap

Try to flush down your drain frequently with cockroach exterminator like ammonia and boil water

Thanks for answering me but it's a new house, new heater and new shower, will minerals have built up so soon?
Thanks for arming me with these info

Not likely, but which pipe? PPR or what?
when was the issue, started? Have you enjoyed uninterrupted hot water supply for once,

Because at times if PPR is not properly melt (over melting), reduces the internal diameter of the pipe, this will affect the flow rate,

Don't be worried, I'm optimistic, you will get the solution, just call your plumber, it might not even as complex as what we thinks, at times ordinary cleaning of shower and few maintenance to water heater solve the problem,

Pls who has experience with this. My sweethome water heater is not getting as hot as i wish even though it's set in high.
2. My shower set has a very low hot water pressure. Very discouraging to use

In addition to what's the experts said, low pressure in shower is not always caused by malfunctioning water heater, the problem might be extensive, at times this might be due to the long time formation of mineral deposits (scaling) in pipes or in water heater tank, minerals like calcium and magnesium, are the culprits, this is very likely is if the water is hard or the building is old,

What to do

Get the plumber, and fix it, although he knows what to do but this can still be helpful

Step 1. Plumber can remove the water heater, and loop both hot line and cold line with flexible connector, he should on the shower, if pressure at the hotline its still same, the problem might be due is scaling, but he can try step 2

Step 2:

Remove the shower and plug the cold line, check the flow of water, if it's the same, it's might be due to scaling, especially if the pipe is copper pipe and building is an old building,

Step 3: but if there's is change in flow, just clean the shower but in and out, and fix it back, the problem of hotline low pressure should be solved, with that,

After which you can get the water heater repaired, or get the pressure relief valve replaced, or both, with this, you should have your hot water

Great engineers in the house, please I need your criticism on this as I intend to utilize this plan for my structure which was done by a kind gesture from this great platform.
Thank you.

mechanical point of view,

1. Waiting room toilet : not spacious enough the width shouldn't less that 900mm, if you are substract the width of the small of basin(300mm) from 750mm, the clear zone is going to be too small for easy passage especially for big people,

Guest room toilet : centralised door to have better toilet layout, WC and shower area, are facing each other, while the basin is located opposite the entrance door, but the implication of this is that your toilet door is opening outwards

Master bedroom toilet : not spacious enough to conveniently accommodate the bathtub, this will make the toilet to be very choky, widen the width of the toilet to 1900mm, this it will make a difference,

Tell the architect to define the TV in those rooms & clearly position all the sanitary fixtures and bed, sink and cooker, chairs, this will help in AC positioning. You can share it here, again after that,

Get your toilet layout right at the planning stage, the plumber can not perform any magic, if your layout is messed up,
