liquid plummer, all kinds of heavy duty pipe chemicals, and we've even replaced the entire pipe under the sink. The smell is still there. What could it be and how do I get rid of it?

Clean the trap by pulling up the plug--you will have to disconnect a part under the sink to do this. It is probably gummed up this old soap and hair. Remove the hair and gunk and rinse the plug off and replace. Pour baking soda in the sink and follow with vinegar. If this doesn't help maybe you need to call a plumber or your waterworks dept.

each of the solutions indexed the following are humorous. because it takes position once you flush the bathroom or use the sink, I as a amature plumber may recommend that you've a venting challenge. what's happening is once you employ a drain you want air to help the water bypass down. once you do not get the air, the water is sucked out of the capture and also you scent the sewer gases. The capture is the U formed pipe below your sink. that is equipped into your bathroom. once you've a vent pipe popping out of you roof. (i really desire you do) it must be clogged with leaves, lifeless birds, insects or different junk. fix..get a snake and push it into the vent pipe from the roof down. in case you do not comprehend....a snake is a coil of flexable metal used lengthy island plumbers to sparkling clogged sewer pipes and vents. As for the worms on your water pipe, stop watch those horror videos and go away them drugd on my own.

Try checking your vent system on roof and make sure it's not clogged by taking a waterhose and turn the water on let run for 10-15 minutes and if water comes out u have a problem.Another problem is if u have a well water system and it smells like rotteneggs then the problem lies with the hot waterheater and the diptube either way u need a plumber

If your p-trap is functioning properly (and you indicate you've tried to change it) you should not have the smell. Since you've already given it a try, it's time for you to call a plumber.

It sounds like it was not hooked up properly. Do you have a trap? and is it vented?
