I recently moved into a house and have an awful stench from the 2 bathrooms upstairs and not as bad from the downstairs toilet.
Background of trying to resolve the issue.
I have had home serve come the property twice and cannot find no reason as why there is a stench, the drainage is clear and no blockage.
I have two toilets upstairs and each one is fed from a separate sewage pipe in the man whole I have two pipe, one at the top and one at the bottom, both operational and connected to each toilet. the downstairs toilet is shared with the bottom pipe.
The property was extended over 8 years ago but I cannot see any stench piping on the side of the house or on the roof.
Questions.
1) Is having a stench pipe fitting part of the building regulations which should be passed by the local authority or this is not a legal requirement.
2) If the plans show a stench pipe should be fitted and is not what legal options do I have, as I had the house surveyed before purchasing it?
How to fix.
1) Are there any simple methods to fix this issue?
2) I have seen a product called a retro fir non return valve, will that work from flex seal uk
3) what is the worse case, Is it possible and what does that involve to fit a stench pipe? estimated costs
This is really doing my head in, to a point I can smell the sewage in the dining room underneath where the piping is.
thanks all your help in advance
