Hello All,
wondering if I could get some assistance.
Over the past few weeks our Ensuite seems to be coming up with a stinch of like sewer/foul drainage smell.
first thing I looked to was potential blocked toilet but it is fully flowing fine and I even check to the outside drain.
we also have a basin and a shower tray. I decided to do a process of elimination and gaffa taped up the sinkhole/vent and the shower drain. The smell was still coming in.
it seems like the smell could be coming from behind the toilet where I have some open access to the right hand side. See pic. Behind the toilet is a white flexi joint which connects directly into the grey waste pipe. I can just about get my hands to touch the joint to the grey pipe and it’s bone dry.
Unfortunately pipe on left of the toilet is now boxed in with tiles. You can see in pic what it looked like before it was boxed in.
any idea what could be causing the foul smell which seems to be coming from that area? But the pic seems to show the whole area as dry.
is it worth getting some one shot acid and flushing it down the toilet?
many thanks in advance.
