smell from toilet

[daffodil81]

Hello I just moved in to my new room, and I can smell sewage smell in the house every once in awhile, from the sinks what can I ask the housing association to do to fix it like install an anti-syphon flush on the toilet. I will be able to smell the sinks all through the year otherwise : (

If you are smelling it from your sinks , thats obviously were to start . Its a bit hard without seeing your installation but ask them about anti - vac traps, you shouldnt need one on your toilet if no smells are there. If you are in a block of flats , there maybe a reason you are loosing your trap-seal ( the water in your trap )

Thanks for replying, I live in a house do I have to ask for antivac traps on each sink there's one in each room I was looking for a solution that wont be too expensive like for just the toilet not all the sinks thanks

I thought if there is water in the trap the smell shouldn't be able to come back but maybe I can ask for an antivac in my room thanks

By the sounds of it you are loosing your trap seal, It would take an age to explain why / how you maybe loosing it .
