How do I get rid of smelly drains?
By magicacaca •
The drains aren't blocked, they just smell of dirty water. I've used bleach and drain unblocker but within 24 hours the smell comes back.
I live in a compound villa. I'm not sure if the other villas have the same problem.
Can anyone recommend something?
Nothing you can do I moved out from a beautiful house because of the smell in 2 bathrooms, now I am in a compound and I have de same probleme, they dont use de '' syphon'' like an "S" under the sink and under the toilet seat if you noticed that, we close everything before we go out and fill the bathtabe with little water to stop completly the smell.
Contact the municipality. Most probably the sewage line has a block and its backing up. Same thing happened to me. They cleared the drain line and now all is well.
Sprinkle 2 tbs of baking soda [ soda bicarbonate] in part of the drain & then put 1/2 cup viniger [ normal white viniger ] keep for an hour & then throw a bucket of boiling water in the drain.... try this...
