My bathroom smells occasionally of drains. I live in a ground floor flat with a drain right outside. The washing machine, dishwasher and kitchen sink all go into this drain. I had it cleared by a drain chap a couple of months ago who said I should run clear water through it once a week for 15 minutes, which I do. The smell has abated but every now and then I still catch the smell, and it's driving me potty (pun intended).
About 6 months ago my plumber put in a new loo and I have been wondering if that has anything to do with it. I didn't need one per se, but the seat had broken and it was impossible to get a new seat to replace it (stupid style of loo) so I had to have a new loo (which I kind of wanted anyway as the cistern was hidden behind a load of tiles). The old cistern is hidden behind the tiles. Could this have anything to do with it?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
