Hey all - hoping you can help me with a problem in my upstairs bathroom.
In this bathroom there is a shower drain that has a sewer smell (either sewer gas, or some kind of bacteria on the pipes). This drain often gets clogged up and the water drains slowly. So usually when I do this, I remove the block and then all is fine. This time it was a bit more blocked and so I removed all the hair and gunk, and then add a liquid chemical unblocker to further remove deeper blockages. After I did this, the drain was ok for a couple of days but then started to have this terrible smell.
I then tried a few things - vinegar / baking soda, bleach, cleaning products, hot water etc. Nothing seems to make it improve. In the morning after the shower has not been used in a while, it smells the worst. Sometimes there is a gurgle from the sink in the bathroom, so not sure if somehow the two are related.
Any suggestions here team?
