Do you have foul-smelling bathroom, kitchen, or shower drains? The culprit could be sewer gas coming back up from your main drain line and up through the drain opening itself. The bad smell could be the first sign of a different plumbing problem.
In this video, Kyle explains some of the different causes of smelly drains in your home and even a natural way to eliminate the odor.

Sometimes outside I'd get a hint of sewer gas. Recently I can smell it from the wall in between the bathroom and kitchen. Sometimes it's stronger than other times. The thing is I don't get the smell from any of the sinks themselves, toilet, nor bathtub. The closest drains to the wall are the bathroom and kitchen sinks. I get the scent through a pinhole on the wall as well as the light switch in the bathroom. I realized outside the washing machine drainage was set to a new pipe. So the old one is just there cut open. I think that would explain the hint of sewer gas on the outside if that ptrap has dried out. I don't want to cover/seal it or pour water inside it because i don't want the scent on the wall to increase if it is related to that. If its no longer coming out through that cut open pipe the only way out would be the wall inside the house??? Would pouring one of those enzyme drain cleaners on the roof vent make it worse if that up there is clogged?

Hey Aaron, there is a lot there so I will do my best to help out. To me, it definitely sounds like a venting issue. You could start with pouring enzyme cleaner down the vent stack and see if that works. I would take a flashlight and see if there is anything visible in there as well. If the enzyme cleaner doesn't work, you may need a plumber to check out the vent and surrounding plumbing. The problem could also be a clogged studor vent somewhere in the bathroom or kitchen; or needing a studor vent added with the washing machine having a new discharge line without proper ventillation.

New house and I have an issue with slime build up (and the related odor) in the tailpiece of the bathroom sinks, and a stinky garbage disposal. I'm thinking it's the fault of the ultra low-flow faucets not effectively flushing out the pipes (this is in California) .

Could definitely be due to the faucets. It could also be a venting issue in the bathrooms not allowing the water to flow smooth. Have you noticed any gargling in your drains?

Hi Susanne, our plumbers use Bio-Clean, which is a safe drain cleaner. Hopefully that works!
