There is nothing worse than standing over your kitchen sink to find that you have an awful smell emitting from the plughole. A number of different causes can result in a bad odour and many of them are very easy to fix.In some cases it can be an indication of a more serious problem and you may need support from a Drain Lining London company such as www.drainpower.co.uk/drainage-services/drain-lining/drain-lining-london/ to resolve this.
Here are some causes of bad smells in your sink.
Bacteria – when food and other items get washed down your sink they can collect together and result in bacteria building up. As these bacteria multiple they start to create terrible odours. Cleaning your sink and the pipes leading from it regularly with an antibacterial drain cleaner will help to remove these bacteria.
Mold – when there’s a leak in your sink the water can flow out and into the cupboard below your sink and in the surrounding area. This can cause mold and mildew to build up and this can then result in bad smells being produced.
Clogged drains – when your wastewater pipes become clogged, water can not flow freely through the pipes. This means that some of the water gets stuck and starts to create gases that then travel back up the pipe to your sink.
