Occasional Earthy smell in 2 bathrooms
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.26 PM
Family bathroom and downstairs WC occasionally get an earthy type smell. Any ideas what may be causing? It looks like they both feed into same drain outside, and the grass/earth around the drain cover has receded I guess as a result of last year’s dry summer. Seems to be no pattern to smell appearing , totally random

It’s best to do a drain test to see if any leaks. Failing that look at the pan connector rear of pan

I would advice you get a drainage specialist to do a cctv drainage survey as you may have a collapsed drain or pipe.

One of the traps has lost its seal .Foul smell is from the drainage below ground ,There are few reason why a trap can lose it seal for instance hair stuck in trap siphoning the water out through capillary action
