pungent smell from pipes in bathroom



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by peep 16 yrs ago
Can someone recommend a good plumber? Once in a while there is a pungent smell coming from the pipes in my bathroom. I have tried buying all sorts of drain cleaners, poured bleach down the drains but the smell will come back.


If i make an appointment with a plumber, its a bit of a hit and miss on whether there is a smell at the time of the appointment or not. So I need someone who is experience on drainage.


tks

LOL.....which planet are you from Jenny.Talia??


Seriously though peep, this is a very common problem in Hong Kong and there is usually nothing a plumber can do to help. It's to do with the main drainage pipes for your building which get a build up of trapped gas (which I'm guessing is what you can smell, a sulphuric/rotten eggs sort of smell?) and only the water authority can fix.
