Experience plumbers in the house and Engineers please I need help on this.

Can a 4 inch pipe serve 4 bathrooms (and kitchens) from 4 units of 1 bedroom flat. To be clear, the plumber run all connections to the Septic tank with a 4 inch PVC pipe. But a friend that was sent to survey the work is suggesting we change the pipe that takes from the chamber (where all 4 flats have been connected) to the Septic tank ( 23m distance) into 6 inch pipe. His reason is that 4 inch pipe would block easily. Is this correct?

Don’t panicked your plumber is right, just only four toilets, in most cases in a residential buildings the waste pipes are usually 4”
But in my own case I do make used of 6” pipe once my toilets are more than 6-7 in a single line this will save any unwanted blockage of chambers, I adopted this system about 12years ago , the 1st building I did with this system never for once experienced blockage since that year till today same as others buildings

The plumber got it wrong from the beginning of the pipe installation. There is normal height for WC waste pipe from the finished floor level and from the one-meter or defence level level.
Close couple 160mm
Basin waste 530mm
Supply 600mm

Conceal
Waste 280mm

Basin
Waste 530mm

Supply 600mm

Some artisans like using courses as against proper measuring tapes and and this will definitely have negative effect when installing the fittings. The use of plum, one-meter level or defence height is very important ,the height of the fittings is very key in plumbing installation.

Standard operating procedures must be followed. Both Electrical, plumbibg and AC have measurement to be followed.

The best solution now is to re-run the pipes and follow the proper mounting height. ... I find difficult to upload the mounting details but will try later.

It’s a serious failed job hahaha
The plumber and the handler totally failed on this
As you said it’s total overhauling of those waste piping system to accommodate new setup, this time around a good handler should handle it.
Here is the diagram to buttress your point

Please guys, what is the best sequence, tiling and wall screeding? My engineer is saying that wall screeding should be done before tiles. I was of the opinion that tiles should be done so that the base won't require screeding after tiling but he made mention of sandpaper and painting. Is this correct?

Sorry to say this, can you be of an opinion on how best to treat you when you visit doctor ?
I think you believed in your Engr capability when you gave him/ her the job to do, so let him/ her do his job , he is 100pec right with what he told you.

Make nobody quote me on this I get anger issue lolz

topsy23:
It is possible sir... Just tell your plumber that you want everything to be conduit system sir.

Exactly

Celepope:
It’s a storey building. And the criminal former Engineer used 6 inches all through upstairs. Someone said he is supposed to use 9 inches in some areas. The decking isn’t cantilever. I just don’t want the pipes showing from outside all through out the house (3 areas - Masters bathroom and two rooms upstairs which aligns with the two rooms downstairs) I’m being advised that cracking the wall may weaken the wall and lead to a collapse. I detest seeing duplex with pipes outside the wall and that’s what I’m trying to avoid.

Actually the Engr didn’t do bad work by using 6blk for the upper section of the building ,
It’s not a bad practice , infact in most area in eastern region they do construct this way but it’s just advisable to consider 9” Blk for external wall walls in upper part of such structure to accommodate pipe, burglar bars etc c easily.
As it’s the conduit piping system can still be achieved but it will required some wall chiseling by a good plumber to do this, All the vent pipe will be smaller diameter pipe like 75mm size.
