Are bad smells coming from your bathroom drains? Smelly bathroom drains are a common issue for many Sydney homes, but you don’t have to live with them. At Blocked Drain Service Sydney, we clear and clean smelly drains in the bathroom effectively. When you’re dealing with a stubborn smelly drain, our experts can help get your bathroom smelling fresh again.
Soap, especially bar soap, creates a residue that combines with other debris. This residue hardens in the drain, trapping bacteria and producing foul smells.
Bacteria thrive in the warm, damp conditions of bathroom drains. As they feed on organic material, they release gases that cause bad odours.
The humidity in bathrooms promotes the growth of mould and mildew inside drainpipes, resulting in musty, unpleasant smells.
If the P-trap dries out, it can no longer block sewer gases from escaping through the drain, causing strong, sewage-like odours in your bathroom.
Smelly drains in the bathroom harbour bacteria and mould that release harmful particles. Prolonged exposure can lead to allergies, respiratory issues, or skin irritations, especially for those with existing health conditions.
A malfunctioning or dry P-trap can let sewer gases like hydrogen sulphide and methane enter your home. Inhaling these gases can cause headaches, nausea, or dizziness, making prompt action crucial.
Bad smells from bathroom drains can spread throughout your home, affecting overall air quality. Poor ventilation may allow these odours to linger and disrupt the freshness of your living spaces.
Smelly drains can attract pests like drain flies. Over time, this buildup creates the perfect environment for a pest infestation.
Persistent smelly drains in the bathroom can lower your home’s appeal to guests or buyers. Odours may signal deeper plumbing issues, which can negatively impact your property’s value and desirability.
We begin by inspecting your bathroom pipes with CCTV cameras to identify the cause of the smell, whether it’s a blockage, buildup, or other hidden issue deep within the plumbing system.
Using high-pressure water jets and specialised tools, we clear the blockages. We then eliminate the bacteria and mould, ensuring the smell is completely removed.
If the P-trap has dried out, we refill it to prevent sewer gases from entering your bathroom. We also check and clear drain vents to ensure proper airflow and prevent future odours.
Regularly clear out any visible hair or debris from your shower or sink drain to prevent buildup that could lead to odour-causing blockages.
Avoid rinsing oils, creams, or lotions down the sink, as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages and odours. Instead, wipe excess with a cloth or paper towel and dispose of it in the bin to keep drains clear.
Keep the bathroom well-ventilated by using an exhaust fan or opening windows. This reduces moisture buildup, preventing mould and mildew in the drains.
Schedule a professional drain maintenance to ensure your bathroom drains remain clear and functioning properly, preventing any blockages or odours.
