"this is a WC that we have terminated in the yard room but every now and then, there is unpleasant odour, i try to seal it off with normal plastic tape but still there is some odor occasionally. Aynyone know where i can get hold of stronger, thicker tape that can seal off the odour? thanks in advance"

Once a WC is no longer in use, the sewer pipe that has a U design no longer contains “water” that acts as a seal preventing nasty methane gas to permeate into your sewer hole.
That is why if it is not properly capped, even tiled over may not help… as the gas can still leak out to the unit. Causing unpleasant smell…

What are the purpose of a "U" curve we see on sewerage waste pipes?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++The proper way to ensure that in later years there is no smell is to CAP it:-
[Above] or any similar methods to CAP the sewerage pipe opening left after removing say, a WC
Avoid placing a plastic film or simply place a tile over it. As over time, methane gas can easily permeate it.. resulting in a sinking toilet!
Unfortunately, worth noting is that the major "disadvantage of capping the sewerage hole means that afterwards, the flooring will not be flat. Unlike the quick and easy method of just tiling it up!

P.S. In the past, one can even apply to the authories to reduce the conservancy charges every month. As the number of toilets are taken into account for the billing.

Dear all,
My common toilet has been having a sewage smell on and off for the last couple of years. Tried a few remedies - plumbers resealed the toilet bowl, town council replastered the joints of the big pipes, finally called hdb down to check.
The hdb guy’s answer was that 20 years ago, my contractor had cut off the air vent pipe for aesthetic reasons, and now the seal for that opening, which is under the bathroom tiles, must have worn out already and that is why my bathroom stinks.
Now I am renovating the whole toilet and I’ve asked for the air vent pipe to be reinstated. My current contractor who is very experienced and has done other work well for us before , is surprised by hdb raising this air vent issue. He says nobody (aside from hdb’s HIP) puts in the air vent pipe any more, and to him the logic is faulty bcos if the pipe is sealed n buried, there’s no way to have any smell, while if the pipe is installed there, there is a way for the smell to escape since there’s a pipe that can develop a leak.
The pipe is obviously ugly so I would rather not have it, but I don’t want to deal with this smelly issue again. Should I insist on the air vent pipe?
