screw through pipes ??

[Perry]

I would use 10mm backer board on floorboards and I would never use screws so I wouldn't have the problem

 

[Perry]

it could have been done from underneath but homeserve came in and ripped up half the floor

Can they be sued ?

 

[Gazzer]

I only use it if I dont know what is under there and there are absolutely no other options left. You could always buy one of these........

same as Mike, I always lift a board or two to check where the pipes are, then give them a wide berth.

do you not screw the backer board down? (as well as adhesive) and the op said the pipe was hit due to the floorboards being screwed down to prevent deflection

Always screw to boards down but at the edges of the board the pipes shouldn't be in the middle but when boards have been taken up to relay pipes the should be screwed so would lift a couple and check the where the pipes go

That's got confused no I don't screw backer board down just floor boards

[Perry]

Why would you ? I wouldn't screw the tiles down

Attach HardieBacker® cement board to subfloor

• Apply a supporting bed of mortar or modified thinset to subfloor using a 1/4" square-notched trowel.
• Embed HardieBacker cement board firmly and evenly in the wet mortar.
• Use the fastener pattern as a guide. Fasten HardieBacker cement board with specified nails or screws (as listed in "Materials Required") every 8" over the entire surface. Keep fasteners 3/8" from board edges and 2" in from board corners.
• Set fastener heads flush with the surface without overdriving.
