The bathroom stinks of sewage: why this happens and how to solve the problem

The smell of sewage can appear in a house or apartment for various reasons. And if the matter is not in the clogged and not cleaned siphon in time, then most likely there will be only one reason for what is happening. Equally often, this can happen, both in a private house and in your own apartment. In the first case, the problem can be solved on your own, while in the second, you will most likely have to seek help from a plumber. So what's the deal?

If an unpleasant odor appears in the bathroom after using the sewage system again, then there may be several reasons for this combination of circumstances. Most of them lie right on the surface, and solving these problems does not even require calling a plumber. Fortunately, even a child can clean the siphon. However, today we will talk about a very specific phenomenon, when the unpleasant smell first disappears (for a short time) after using the plumbing, and then reappears.

There is only one reason for this phenomenon - the breakdown of the water seal. It is equally relevant both for a private house and for an apartment. A stench appears because in the sewage system, water is no longer retained in the water seal, which is exactly what is needed in order to prevent unpleasant odors from the drainage system from entering the living space. Moreover, often the smell can disappear for a while, and after the next flushing or draining of water, it appears again.

This happens because the water seal breaks off mainly when large volumes of water are released into the sewer. So you have to solve the problem in any case. It is best to call a plumber. He will solve all issues with the incorrect operation of the riser without any problems. In addition, if we are talking about a private house, then it makes sense to attend to the installation of a fan pipe - sewer ventilation, or at least worth putting an aerator.
