What Causes the Smell in Your Sink?
As mentioned earlier, the foul smell oozing from the plumbing is a characteristic of sewage gas which is produced by decomposing waste products stuck in the plumbing by bacteria.
The accumulation of the gas produced by these wastes is what leads to the production of sewage gases. While that may seem like doom and gloom, it’s important to always find the cause for your plumbing issues.
For some homeowners, it can be something as simple as a blocked drain. If the smell is coming from your kitchen sink, chances are the smell is coming from:
- Old food scraps
- Cooking grease
- Rotting veggies and fruits
- Grime in your garbage disposal
If that’s the case, then these issues can easily be resolved with quality drain cleaning services from a professional plumber.
Are There Sulfur Deposits in Your Pipes?
One of the major constituents which usually gives the characteristic rotten egg smell is hydrogen sulfide, which indicates sulfur can may have been deposited on your pipes. Sulfur is very toxic to humans, corrosive to the skin and eyes, and it damages the respiratory system.
Sulfur also corrodes your plumbing and might damage it to such an extent where you have to replace all the plumbing structure and this is very costly to handle.
