Hi all,
Parents had a 2nd floor bathroom fitted a couple of years back, and have subsequently started having some pretty vile smells coming through. I imagine it is sewer gases rather than a ''user issue"! My dad said that there was an AAV fitted (possibly under the floor?), which means that it is not easily accessible. As far as I can understand, from research online, either the AAV has failed or is in the wrong place (i.e it would be lower than the wash basin). Can I install an above roof vent to the external stack pipe? Will it cause any issues to have both an above roof vent and an AAV on the same line? (Just in case the problem is elsewhere)...
Cheers in advance
