Here at The Pied Plumber – We love resolving your issues. Some seemingly more urgent than others.
We’ll arrive for a leaking tap and then get that question on the way out:
“OHHH, while you’re here. We have this bathroom which we barely use that smells!”
While you may have underlying plumbing issues in these cases, the most common here is that all your plumbing around the property will require regular use.
In areas where (for example) an ensuite bathroom is used every six months – what occurs here is that the water levels in the traps around the sinks and floors wastes slowly drop as they evaporate, leading to water seal loss. Odour can then travel into the bathroom from the sewer service.
There is an easy fix!
Make sure you run water services in the room at least every few weeks whilst ensuring that water always reaches the floor wastes. You may otherwise be a victim of poor plumbing design where these floor wastes may require a manual top-up.
Ensure the room is well ventilated, and if the problem persists, we’re a call away!
We know design! Call the experts if you’re still stuck!
