Egg Smell

[purejamie]

Hello all,

I have seen this question asked before on here but never with a conclusion so thought I would see if anyone could shed some light on it for me.

When using the upstairs bathroom sink or shower, or using the downstairs sink an eggy smell is created. If I put sink unblocker down the plugholes in the sink/bath then the smell goes for a couple of weeks then comes back again. The smell seems to envelop most of the house including areas nowhere near the sinks of bath... Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jamie.

Put and extrator in the bathroom and less spicy food in your diet.

Clean out the overflow connections.

Near Abbey Road in London I heard Macca`s going to re do Sgt.pepper to pay the Mrs. .......He was the Eggman and he`s pretty fired up by all accounts

Hi , thanks for the variety of interesting replies!

In respect to cleaning out the overflows - do you mean the holes that the water floes into when it gets to high? Can you recommend what to clean them out with?

Thanks again
Jamie.

do you have a soil vent pipe or an air admittance valve only?

I'm sorry, I really do not know the difference, is this just too far out of reach for a noob such as myself?

Cheers,
Jamie.

Jeez , try water to start with, maybe some bleach. Ask the lady who does the cleaning for you.
