Hi I've got an issue with my soil stack. It happens once every few months.
Suddenly we get horrible smells of sewer coming into downstairs room where the soil stack is. There is no toilet in that room.
The soil stack has an aav outside. However years ago the plumber broke the soil stack and had to join it. They used a rubber coupler with a bit of pipe inside. I can't help feel that is the cause of my issues.
I wonder if air escaping or coming in has a knock on effect. That join us external and the smell comes from the base of the soil pipe which is about 3m aways from the join.
Is it possible this could cause the issue? I don't notice issues with the toilets or plumbing.
