I have a bad smell like boiled eggs invading the kitchen/dining?

Question

all the drains run free and the dishwasher is cleaned regular, I have checked under floor, no aparent dampness, any ideas as to who to contact for investication

Answer 1

Sounds like sewer pipe gas and you usually get that from a Drain pipe like on a garbage disposal that has the valve stuck open or there is vent line that is lose somewhere.

Answer 2

Do you have a drain outside the kitchen door? We have a drain that has a sediment trap in it that means water can sit in the trap and stagnate. When we run a tap or empty the sink it disturbs the stagnant water a produces a smell worse than that which my dog can achieve after eating a couple of cans of pedigree chum. The only method i have found that helps is to pour drain cleaner down every now and then. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

use bleach in all over flow pipes and drains the smell is from either dish washer or from washing machine and can bring the smell back via plug holes etc use bleah down sinks too

Answer 4

Hi Dellboy

sounds like you could have a gas leak, get it checked out asap

Answer 5

Have you cleaned your washing machine lately?????
Detergent contains fat, fat stays in machine, goes rancid, STINKS.
To clear this, go to Asda/Tesco, get a bag of washing soda, 55 pence ish, put the whole bag in the washing machine, real hot wash. Dont look in machine while this is happening, embarrasing!!!! Mine was real nasty, took 2 bags of soda, sweet as a nut. This also cleans your drains spotless.

Answer 6

if you cook with gas it is probley a piolite light gone out you need to call your gas supplyer and have them come check it out be carefull because this is very dangerous and can explode turn off gas at the main tank to stop the smell untill you get it checked out

Answer 7

Turn off the mains gas supply and see if the smell receeds/goes

Answer 8

Check the washing machine is plumbed in correctly and the dirty water is going through a wastepipe trap on emptying.

Answer 9

Do you have gas heating? Sounds like you may have a gas leak.
