    Thanks! Reasons 2 & 3 apply to my current situation. Home is being remodeled and there's open sink pipes

    Thank you for your help, I cleared a couple of drains then put a hospital grade disinfectant down them as well to give a nicer smell. Will clean them out once a week from now on.

    Thanks a ton. You saved us the cost of a plumber. Our issue was #1 in your video (water in p-trap had evaporated, allowing smell to penetrate bathroom. All fixed thanks to your advice!

    We have an awful odor in our home . Not sure if its sewer gas or a dead animal. It usually comes out during windy days. We get the odor from our sinks, radiator floor where pipe breaks through the cement, and in the basement and garage.

    Why is it that the sewer smell is very pungent early mornings around sunrise for a couple of hours but then dissipates and is then ok for the most part of the day?? Seems to build up overnight!

      It could be those vents on top of the roof that catches all sorts of bad air

    I have two unused bathrooms and I am tired of adding water the pee traps before they dry out, How can I seal the drains? I've been keeping the sinks filled with water but it corrodes the sink hardware.

      I've heard you can pour some vegetable oil down the drain, just enough to fill the P trap. Don't quote me on it though.

      Youre right, that's what I found out too. Mineral oil is best.

    How do you clean a bathroom drain. I think it comes from hubby's shaving cream. As my side of the sink doesnt smell.

    Some fabric softner mixed with some water poured down a shower drain might help.

    Hi, great video and thank you. We recently notice sewer smells from the fan ventilation (ceiling area) in one of the main floor bathrooms. The attic is right above the ceiling with vent pipes. What are the potential causes of the problems? Thank you very much!

    Using a shower for a urinal, I think makes the urine get caught in the trap and the bacteria grows and the smell is disgusting and it’s not back up sewage smell

    I take it America has some old ass houses and things are rotting away if not a newer house since its affecting alot of us. we just bought a used house that was remodeled and after 5 months the bathroom is starting to stink. The tub drain was draining very slowly but I fixed it with some liquid plumber I think they poured paint and other things down the drain when they remodeled because there are paint spills all over the tub that I had to clean off with a 5 and 1. I have covered up the drain holes in the sink holes I have ran water obviously from using the sync in the tub to clean myself but there are still sewer gas coming up could it be from the toilet ring
