There's a soil pipe breather at the top of our soil pipe works, it's inside a cupboard but I can smell the drains off it. I presume these 'are' meant to go inside the house, so there should be no smell? But then if it's not airtight how do the gasses escape anyway, and if they do then they're going in the room?? All a bit confused :/
(sorry realise pic has uploaded on it's side, the actual thing is right way up.
