Hi,
Looking for guidance for my soil stack vent pipe. I have a first floor flat and am refitting an ensuite bathroom.
On ripping out the old fittings and tiles I uncovered a soil stack vent pipe. It was boxed in, but it seems a little strange to have a vent terminating inside the house.
As you can see from the picture, the toilet is next to the stack and I plan to fit a concealed cistern frame and a wall hung pan.
However, after a few days of having the bathroom undisturbed I'm noticing a grim odour no doubt emanating from the stack (I've stuffed plastic bags into the exposed drain pipes to stop a. the smell and b. debris from clogging them up)
If need be I'll just include the vent pipe in the same boxed in housing as the toilet cistern similar to before.
Above the bathroom ceiling there is a crawl space. In this crawl space the bathroom extractors vent up through the old chimney.
Do I have any further options available to do away with the soil pipe vent and its potentially associated smells?
