Does your house use the river water? How is your sewerage dealt with?
Christian.
the pipes are those from the toilets and the sinks.
maybe his house is in e.g. Bagdad where I understand the river is a sewer and has to be filtered downstream for "drinking" water .....
Gaewd,. And are these smells INSIDE or OUTSIDE the house.
Its like the third degree isn;t it, trying to help some people.
That's called party gas, then. :-))
Pulling teeth springs to mind. :-))
John Kennedy. Can you please give us more information on where, what, how and when these pipe things are giving you problems. All we know is you have pipes that smell. Then What ?

Well, at least we can surmise he is posting in the right group. Without the clarification we might have directed him to alt.medical.flatulence :-)

Commonly known as drains? Each and every one of these (toilets and basins etc) should have a trap (U-bend) filled with water beneath it, for the prime reason of stopping smells - from any waste water system. Perhaps you've got some badly installed wastes where one is siphoning the water out of another.
