Hi,
I am new here but just thought i would ask some advice before going ahead trying to fix my probelm.I started getting a bad sewage type smell in my bathroom last week then noticed a patch on my downstairs ceiling directly below my toilet.This morning i cut out a patch in the ceiling and found a small grey pipe going into a larger brown one around 4inch i think.It looks like my sink and bath waste tying into my toilet waste through a rubber seal.It looks like the rubber seal is loose and toilet waste is dripping out and was nearly through the plasterboard.I ran a bath last night and the smell cleared after the bath drained so i thought it was a bit of stale water in pipes.The smell was back again this morning.The pipe then goes to a septic tank although i noticed there is no vent..should there be one?I was just wondering is the solution as simple as pushing the seal back in tight.Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
