Many people have encountered this situation, new house, only a few days after moving in, sometimes it will be very smelly, can not find the reason. My family took a lot of thought and finally solved this puzzle!
First of all, we asked someone to check the source of the odor, today for everyone to sort out all to see, your home is best to pay attention to these places, there has been a taste, you can check one by one according to these!
First, the smell of floor drain
First of all, close to the floor drain and smell whether there is any odor, confirm whether the smell is returned from the floor drain, if it is to check whether your home floor drain is not odor-proof!
The second source of odor, check that your wash basin sewer pipe is not done S bend, if you do not do it yourself, you can bend into an S bend to store water to seal the odor
The third source of odor, to see whether the seam between the sewer pipe and the ground sewer is well sealed, otherwise it is a return to the smell, directly with tape or glass glue to seal the gap
The fourth source of odor, this should be carefully observed, their own toilet has no water leakage, if you find that there is a slight leakage of water on the lower edge of the toilet, it must be a bad seal, with glass glue to reseal one side.
The fifth source of the odor, the sealing ring flange is not aligned, if this is the reason, you have to remove and reinstall the toilet
The sixth source of odor, check whether the exhaust fan pipe of their own home is installed in place, sometimes the owner does not look at it, the worker just puts it on the ceiling, usually use only the sound, completely ineffective; and then even if it is installed, whether the edge gap is sealed, this is also the source of the odor
If the above have been carefully checked, all have done a good job of odor prevention, it is basically impossible to have a peculiar smell. Unless it is a long time, the odor-proof work done before is not well executed, such as the floor drain is not cleaned up for half a year!
Having said all this, let's talk about why there is a peculiar smell? You must be wondering, aren't they all washed away with water? Take a look at the picture below:
The septic tank in the above figure, the general community should have, it is impossible to directly discharge into the municipal pipeline, so for a long time, the odor bacteria accumulate and ferment, and when it encounters the return wind or other situations, the smell will be directly returned to the pipes of each household, which is the source of the odor.
Therefore, the above six points are done well, frequent inspection, and diligent cleaning, and you can do a home without odor. Like the likes of this article and the support of forwarding and then go again
