Hello, I live in a ground floor flat that has a drain outside the bedroom window. This drain is for rainwater runoff and is also connected to the bathrooms of the two flats above me.
When either of my neighbours uses their bathroom water the drain outside smells really bad. Especially when they use hot water.
When I inspected this before I noticed that the gully was old and cracked. So, I had this replaced with a new gully but the smell persists.
I'm not sure if the smell is being created when the water runs down the pipes before it gets dumped in the gully, or if it is something to do with the gully.
I have attached some photos to show the flow of my neighbours water.
Any advice would be appreciated.
