Hi
I have two drains close to each other, 1 is from the toilet, the other is from drainpipe and bath.
One of them is leaking, below the ground.
The foundation bricks, that hold up the joists are damp/rotten and crumbling.
The soil under the house in the small 2ft crawl space is damp.
(behind the ventilation holes in the photo)
When you use the bath/sink there is a smell.
When you pull back the vinyl flooring in the kitchen the floorboards are damp
(this is close to the large metal pipe on the left in the photo)
I am absolutely skint but have a pick axe and shovel.
Is this something I can do myself?
I was thinking that I can dig down to see if the pipes are cracked or blocked underground.
What do you think?
All advice welcome
