We started renting a terraced house back in February. The last week or so we noticed a methane/sewage smell in the guest room. This seems to be stronger if the toilet is flushed.
This guest room is next door to the bathroom and the soil pipe from the toilet actually goes through the wall to the guest room and in turn outside. The pipe is boxed up and if you put your nose to it the smell is stronger.
Any ideas what causes this? Incidentally we have currently got an issue with a mysterious pool of water that keeps appearing in the cellar which doesnt appear linked to rain water etc. It comes from below ground and doesnt appear to be sewage water but could be sink water...
Any ideas folks?
