Beware of Foul Smelling Floor Drains
P-traps are curving pipes that get commonly located under kitchen and bathroom sinks. If the water inside the p-trap evaporates, sewer gasses below may absorb in your residence. The smell may be emanating from the floor drains.
Suppose the water inside the p-trap gets evaporated. In that case, the remaining waste in the pipe’s bend will begin to break down and release the unpleasant smell into your home.
Filling the drains on your floors and bathtubs and showers that are not used regularly with water is an excellent option to keep any smells from spreading throughout your home. If you use drains frequently, there’s less of a chance they’ll start to smell unpleasant. To ensure that your p traps get filled, ensure that you fill them with sufficient water.
It is critical to be aware of unfamiliar drains, such as basement floor drains and guest bathroom drains. Laundry tubs get rarely used because the water in the p-trap mist has evaporated, and the area around it may be filthy. Be sure to clean all debris or dirt from the drain before flushing water down it. A large amount of waste down a seldom frequented drain could cause more significant problems! Follow these steps to ensure your home will smell fresh throughout the year!
