A couple of months ago my toilet was really blocked. My partner unblocked it with drain rods, but he had to rod it from the inside as our toilet run joined onto the main run and we couldnt find a manhole cover, it took all 10 rods to do it and it was a nasty job. Anyway, the past week the bathroom has stunk really bad of drains. I cant stand it anymore. Our bathroom is downstairs by the way, so what could the problem be? The blockage has deffo gone and the back of the loo is trapped obviously so where is the smell coming from? Pls help x

Excuse me Granny Murray!! You can keep quiet as I recall a recent question of yours involving how to get rid of the smell of fart from your house! And your dentist will vouch for that as you brought your own gas to the surgery the other day, no wonder the filling fell out!! Gafaw, gafaw, gnu, gnu!

If the toilet drain goes straight down from the toilet into the floor, then I think the wax ring is no good. The smell won't make it past a water trap, so that's about the only thing it could be.

I know this sounds disgusting, but you need to follow the odor. Sewer gasses can potentially enter from any drain that has an issue. So, check all sink, laundry, tub, and shower drains, for the worse odor. I actually suspect the toilet the least, because its really tough for gasses to pass back through the trap way of the toilet, when there's water in the bowl.

There is a trap that opens and closes when the toilet is flushed. It sounds like the trap is not closing after the flush. If it is stuck, it allows the odors to return from the sewer lines.(that's it purpose). Call a plumber
