Bog room was stinking at work, turns out there was a blockage but as the

I've unblocked it, it's all running freely, the smell has gone.
I can't decide if I can be arsed exploring, there's space issues and
much boxing in.

Just wondering what others would do?

'at work'. Says it all - not your problem, shirley. If it's flushing
away OK, and no longer smelling, doubly not your problem.


Sadly (well, not really I suppose) I own the gaff.
While there's no evident problem currently I can't help but be concerned
what's going on beneath.

Someone mentioned cameras, I wonder whether to get one next time they
are in Aldi/Lidl. and shove it up from the manhole end.

Such cameras are not as easy to use as you might think. It could be that
you have a very obvious leak, it might be less obvious. A lot depends on
the geometry and materials of construction. Is this a plastic drain or a
ceramic one. If plastic, is it running underneath your lowest suspended
floor? Hence perhaps leaking on to earth? Or is the building age and
construction such that it would be leaking on to a concrete slab. How
far is it from the loo to the manhole? Is the manhole within or outside
the building? The devil is in the detail.
