Hi all,
I'm hoping that somebody will be able to suggest what could be causing a problem that I have been experiencing in my house.
On occasion there is an awful smell towards the front of my house. Running up from the downstairs toilet, up the stairs, and stinking out all of the upstairs.
The smell isn't there all of the time, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern at all as to when it will smell the house out.
Sometimes you can wake up in the morning and the smell is already there, then you may not smell anything for a few days, and then the smell will come back again.
I naturally believe that it could be a stench pipe issue, but now I don't know whether it could be a break in the pipe (which would require me removing things to get to it - or could it actually be the pipe coming out of the roof? I have noticed that it is a downturned piece of piping, not unlike a drainpipe - and not a piece of piping that stands upwards.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
