At PAC Plumbing & Building we know how unpleasant smelly drains can be.
Most drainage systems are designed to keep sewage and waste water odours away from kitchen, bathroom and laundry spaces.
However, as we all know general wear and tear overtime can be problematic. If you do detect bad odours in your kitchen or bathroom, there is definitely a problem.
Commonly this foul odour is a clear indication of an issue with your drainage system and requires a plumbing expert ASAP. At PAC Plumbing we provide premium plumbing solutions and can handle any drainage and sewer problem in a timely and cost effective manner.
What causes these bad smells?
Reasons for drain odours include:
- Drain Blockages – Waste water tends to have a foul odour. The smell can be worse if it has been exposed to the main sewage system and all the gases present in it. If there is a drain blockage and this water backs up, the foul odours can flood the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry spaces.
- The Water Barrier – Most drain systems have a water barrier that helps to keep the sewage gases out of your home. The P-trap system and the Water Barrier act as a permenant defence against these foul odours. However if you have not used a particular drain for a significant amount of time and the water in the trap dries up or if it gets disturbed, the foul odours can enter your home.
- Sewer Lines – If the sewage lines malfunction, you can be sure that the drains will emit a foul odour. All the sewer gases will then escape the lines and also flood the drains. They may even break the water barriers and infiltrate your home.
