Hi,
We have recently bought a new (ish) house (2008 build). In the main bathroom every now and then there is a smell like a sewer. At first we thought it might be the Jacuzzi bath jets etc not being properly treated after use by the previous owners but it was cleaned with the correct treatment and the smell occurs so that has been ruled out. In the bath room there is a shower, toilet, sink and bath. All the pipe work is either boxed in, behind the tiled in bath or runs into the stud work.
The SVP stack is the internal type and is boxed in the corner of the room with the toilet connecting straight into it. The sink seems to run into the studwork and then I assume connects up with the bath and then runs into the stack. The smell only seems to occur when the sink or the bath is being emptied I have also noticed that the bath seems to be draining very slowly as of late. The smell doesn't seem to happen when the toilet is flushed though.
Sorry about the poor description. Would you have any ideas of what might be causing this or where to start investigating?!
Thank your for your help
