I have a downstairs toilet and upstairs toilet ,one above the other..
The soil/stench pipe connects upwards to above the Roof heaves and downward into the sewer... Coupled into the sewer also is a Gully trap drain to take sink and bath / shower wastes and from time to time , from that drain gully come a god awful smell of typical drain sewer stink.. ( Stench is the Word !)
I do not know how it ever get through the drain gully u bend water barrier , but it does.. Obviously there comes a build up of sewer gas/smell and I though it was supposed to be drawn up the soil stack and dissipated into the air above the heaves level not to come up into this drain..
Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this type of action before and how can I go about curing this smelly situation which drifts into my house...
I did think that maybe the stack may not be drawing it away and that when any waste water runs into the drain part and disturbs the natural gully barrier it is then when gas escapes Could my stack be blocked some where do you think ? Or might there be an extractor whirly fan that one might fit within the stench vent pipe to pull the foul air away from coming up the drain ?
Any help would be appreciated thanks
