Smelly Drains: Causes and Prevention
Here at Coastal Drains, we get numerous callouts on a weekly basis for smelly drains. Unfortunately, offensive smells coming from drains in our homes is quite common and is often the first noticeable sign that something is wrong. While a drain, from the outside, may appear clear, a horrible smell emanating from within can indicate a problem somewhere further inside the pipework.
What Causes Smelly Drains? Running Kitchen Tap
Smelly drains don’t just cause a horrible smell in one room of the house but odours are often carried from room to room. They can cause significant disturbance to your life but what exactly causes the unfortunate, yet common, problem of smelly drains? There are, in fact, numerous things that cause a blocked drain, such as:
Trapped Food Food
Trapped food is one of the most common causes of a smelly drain and can be the reason your drain has become blocked or is running slowly. Even if you take care to ensure food doesn’t wash down the drain, fragments of food and other organic material can slip by. This material may not be entirely washed out and may decompose within the pipework, causing a bad odour.
The simplest solution to this problem is to fill the sink with hot water and bleach, then drain the water through the pipes. This will help loosen stuck food and other clogs, washing them away.
Partial Blockages Sink Drain
Another common cause of smelly drains is a partial blockage. A partial blockage is caused by a non-decomposable product being washed down the drain and blocking the normal function of the drain. A partial blockage causes waste to accumulate around it and become the source of an offensive smell.
Pipe Accessories
Many people do not know this but their pipe accessories could be causing their drains to be smelly. Depending on the material your drain pipes and accessories are made from, they can rust and absorb foreign materials over time, degrading and causing bad smells. In such cases as these, it is best to call our team here at Coastal Drains. We will be able to evaluate the cause of the problem and replace the pipes and parts.
How to Prevent Smelly Drains Kitchen Sink
Prevention is key. We always say at Coastal Drains that it is far easier to prevent a drain problem than it is to fix one. To prevent odours from making your drains smelly, be sure to catch any food materials in a wire mesh to prevent it washing down the pipes. It is also beneficial to maintain your drain by running boiling hot water down it at the end of each day just to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Avoid putting fat or oil down your sink also as this can result in significant build-up within the pipework. Hair and soap in bath and shower drains are also a problem, causing numerous blockages. To prevent this, use a sink strainer to catch any hair and soap and avoid it being washed into the pipework. Washing your drains regularly is especially effective. Drain cleaners used on a weekly basis are ideal for maintaining the health of your drainage system.
