smell / caustic soda?

Hi, I have quite a shallow fall on the waste pipes from my shower and bath and when the bath empties it smells a bit. I was considering using caustic soda to hopefully shift any hair and give the pipes a clean, but as there isn't actually a blockage will the caustic soda solution just run straight o...

I don't know for sure but I think that sounds ok to me. Rainwater entering sewage drain isn't a problem, if it were the other way around (rain water drain being used for dog foul) then it would be a problem.

The bolts/machine screws that I'm searching for are like a machine screw but with a countersunk raised head to look like a woo...
