Hi Everyone

Can anyone recommend a good plumber please. I have a very nasty smell emanating from my upstairs bathroom. Unfortunately frequent flushing and adding disinfectant is not helping. There was a problem when I bought the house in 2019. I'm only able to come 3/4 times a year for about 3/4 weeks each time. However the smell has increased a lot over the years. I sleep downstairs and don't use the upstairs bathroom.

Thanks very much for your help

Julia

Hi Julia

You don't mention if you have a basin or bath/shower or bidet upstairs. When you say "flushing" that implies a toilet.

If you never use the other facilities then the water will evaporate from the traps, leaving the room directly exposed to the smell from the sewer. Just run the relevant taps for a minute to refill the traps.

If that doesn't help, then I recommend Stefan https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063467444122
