Why are my drains producing foul Smells?
The curved pipe under your sink is known as p-trap. This area in the sink drainage can quickly become blocked from fats, grease, oils and food debris over time it builds up and can cause blockages as well as foul smells. Sometimes the problem can be solved by pouring hot water down the sink hole, this can help remove bad smells and blockages. However, if the blockage and smells still remain it may require the attention of a drain technician to take a closer look at the problem.
Do I require an expert to solve smelly drains?
You may require a drain technician to establish the cause of the foul smell. Home solutions do not always work and sometimes only complicates the problem. Take for example, a situation where the foul smell is as a result of a blocked pipe that drains waste water to the regional sewer system. This is a problem that, if not quickly rectified, can lead to drainage waste flooding onto your floor. This is not something you would want to happen as it could cause damage to your home.
Are smelly drains a health hazard?
