foul smell in bathroom
periodically we experience a foul smell in the bathroom (not just after
a recent visit!) I suspect the soil connection to the wc pan the current connection appears to be clay (?) wrapped in some kind of bandage which dissappears horizontally into the wall. The exterior stack is cast iron. the clay pipe is obviously very old and does not even have a circular cross section any more (but there are no signs of a leak this side of the wall) Would a new plastic pipe with rubber flange simply push-fit into the cleaned-up cast iron? Could the smell be caused by a blockage in the top of the soil stack (birds nest etc)? The house is a two storey stone building of 100+ years Many thanks, Ian Perthshire |
