Blocked drains/ bad smell

[dommy4]

we have been renovating for several months and have had new bathroom with tiled floors etc all finished. i had floorboards up in adjacent room and noticed a damp patch in the ground near the toilet area and a bit of a smell ( sewer smell) Studiply i ignored the problem and thought/hoped it would go, laid back all the floorboard and skirting. The smell is now getting worse and the toilet has just got blocked - this has been ongoing for a couple of months. i wonder if there is crack in the soil pipe around where i saw the damp. do i need a cctv survey or should i buy some rods to unblock?

Please help it pongs?

Cheers.

Why pay for a CCTV survey to tell you what you already know? The soil pipe/drain is leaking and needs to be repaired. DIY or get someone in. Or just hope it will go away?

your right but how do we know where the break is without putting a camera up the soil pipe.

Dig down till you find it. Should be near damp patch. Also shine torch down inside of pipe. It's not rocket science.
