Help! I have been reading all the other listings that relate to this problem. I think I have sewer gas getting into 1 of my bathrooms. (1st floor)
The smell doesn't seem to be escaping from the traps or toilet u-bend and there is no sucking or obvious draining of these either. It seems to escape from behind the loo & gaps in the boxing.
We don't have a stink pipe, but our neighbour, who is at the 'top' of the system does. I can't tell if we have a Durgo (getting technical now) as the plumbing is all boxed in. If we do it has been put in lower than the overflow of the basin, which I have read is wrong. The other bathroom might have one put in at the right height- the boxing does extend above the height of the basin.
This is an intermittant problem that seems to have worsened since more houses have been connected to the system. Any suggestions?
