Hi, in the last few days we have noticed a horrible smell coming from our kitchen cupboard which the soil pipe drops down through from our bathroom.
Within the cupboard there is a small round pipe protruding from the boxed-in pipe, with a solid end marked with 4 letter 'V's - some kind of vent or access?
We haven't had any work done recently, though a new bathroom / central heating system was fitted in march at which time the plumber altered the pipe to fit a durgo, as the old pipe through roof had been letting in the rain!
We are about to start fitting a new kitchen this weekend and so will be pulling out all the cupboards & will be able to have a better look, but just wondered if you could give any suggestions as to whether this could be caused by a blockage somewhere in the soil pipe/ drain? Or is it possible that the pipe could be damaged in some way?
Many thanks
