Are Your Drains Making You Plug Your Nose? Causes
of Bad Smelling Drains

• Rotten eggs? Sulphur? Mildew?
• All these smells coming from your bathroom,
  kitchen, laundry drains indicate bad plumbing
  habits. Offensive smells coming from drains in
  the home can be unbearable and it is important
  that you make sure to thoroughly inspect and
  treat the cause behind the nasty smelling drains.

• Clogs and Blockages a clog in the drain or
  partial or full obstruction is the biggest reason
  for causing bad smells to emanate from your
  drains. This usually happens when products that
  dont easily decompose are washed down the drains
  and become trapped. Things such as build-up of
  toilet paper, hair, food scraps, soap and scum
  are the biggest culprits for causing smelly
  drains. A partial blockage can cause accumulation
  of waste in the drain. When the drains are
  clogged they drain slowly, and mould and bacteria
  can grow in the p-trap and create really bad
  smelling gases.

• Trapped Food one of the most common and primary
  causes for bad smelling drains are food fragments
  that are washed down the drain. Any food scraps
  in your drains will collect and start rotting,
  this decomposition of food causes nasty smells
  coming from your kitchen sink. To combat this
  situation, avoid washing down any food scraps
  down the drain.
• Sewer Problems If all drains of the house are
  smelling bad, most likely the issue is with your
  sewer. A blocked sewer can cause bad smells all
  around your house. If you think your sewer needs
  a good inspection and cleaning, contact your
  plumber today.

  plumbing habits can keep your drains and plumbing
  system healthy keeping nasty smells at bay. The

  your house is to make sure only wastewater goes
  down your drains and all other waste like fats,
  oils, food, scraps and hair are disposed of in
  the garbage bin. All these things are not meant
  to be drained down the sink and can lead to a
  blocked drain and subsequently, unpleasant smells.
