Hello.
Property is a 1900 terrace
Noticed a horrible smell coming from the kitchen sink. Investigated it and the problem is the drain in which the waste water from the kitchen sink and the washing machine go into is blocked i think?
There is stagnant water which doesn't ever empty. Only rises to a certain level but doesnt flood and then drops back down but does not empty!
This is not affected by anything from the bathroom at all. So I guess the pipe from kitchen waste going into the main sewer is blocked.
We don't have a manhole cover but can access the drain from where the kitchen sink & washing machine pipe emptys. A conservatory was built over the manhole years ago.
Should I get some rods and try rodding?
Any advice much appreciated
