Hi
I have a downstairs cloakroom with a toilet and sink which smells offensive. It has been like this on/off for 4 years. I have always cleaned and cleaned with no avail so last week bit the bullet and got a plumber to redo the soil pipes as it had been done by previous owners and looked a bit of a mess (although boxed in). Plumber did it, found a spilt seal in the pipe going into the ground, great sorted I thought, 2 days no smell then it returned!!!!! ARG!!!. The smell appears to come from inside the toilet pan/water so i covered/cling filmed the toilet and smell went, then returned and appears to be coming from the cistern? it is a back to the wall toilet and cistern. The toilet is below our ensuite (and the soil stack is also used for the ensuite). Please anyone any suggestions???. Ive called the plumber, just waiting for him to get back to me.
Thankyou in advance for any suggestions!!!
