Hi All

Well the subject really says it all, I have a real eggy smell that
wafts through my house every so often and I cannot put it down to
anything (no its not the wife, or the cat) We first thought it started
whenever we flushed the toilet but this is not the case. It appears
also to move around the house, one day it will appear to come from the
front room, then the hall, and other days from the utility room. It's
really weird and is getting worse, smells really strong of
eggs/methane and its getting rather embarassing now. Just as well the
house is still resembling a building site and we dont get many
visitors in. Is this problem more than likely just a soil pipe
blockage somewhere? How should I go about tackling this, i'm thinking
of looking under the manhole cover out the back but not sure if my
stomach is strong enough for that one or not!!!

Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

Richard

An exorcist might be useful but if that's not very practical have a look
under your floors if they are suspended wooden floors. There may be stagnant
water pooling there and the odour might be coming up through gaps in the
floorboards. Of course if you have solid floors then disregard this
suggestion.
