Tree Root Damage to Drains and How We Fix It
Smelly drains are a nuisance because unpleasant odours can travel through your entire piping system, causing bad smells from your sink, toilet, shower, or bath. These odours can quickly overpower your home and may even be noticeable outside in your garden, depending on how your drainage system is set up.
There are several common causes of smelly drains, including:
There are several common causes of smelly drains, including:
Personal hygiene products
Products such as soaps, detergents, shampoos, and conditioners naturally build up over time and can cause unpleasant smells, especially if drains are not cleaned regularly. Oil-based products are particularly difficult to break down and can cling to other substances, allowing bacteria to multiply and create foul odours in bathroom drains.
Food waste
If food waste is not disposed of properly and enters your sink, it can travel through your drainage system and become trapped. Because food takes a long time to break down, it is one of the main causes of smelly drains. Solid particles cling to grease, grime, and residue from soaps and shampoos, which can gradually clog pipes and create ongoing odour problems if left untreated.
Damaged or ageing pipes
Cracked, damaged, or ageing pipes can also be a source of unpleasant smells. Over time, leaks can allow dirty water to seep into the surrounding soil, while older pipes may corrode and absorb bacteria that cause persistent odours.
