BenBhoy Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hey guys. Am planning on removing our outside toilet so that we can use the outhouse as storage. Can anyone give me some reccomendations on what to do with the hole that will be left behind in the floor going to the drain once toilet removed? I want it sealed up and covered over to become the floor, so not just some plug or bung that seals it up. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Depends how deep the pipe goes before it turns. Where the pipe enters the ground, it will continue to fall vertically for a distance until it turns 90 degrees and then is almost horizontal. If you definitely, absolutely will never require the use of that drain again, then I'd suggest packing the deeper part with fibreglass insulation, to about 5 inches below finished level. Then plastic (heavy duty, preferably) in the hole, ensuring it is sort-of sock shaped, and coming to above ground level. Then fill the sock with concrete, and finish the surface. But ... if you might need the soil pipe again (even a sink waste will, with an adaptor, use that), then a bung from builders merchants will be far better.
