Stinky H2O

[hlt]

[:-yuck]

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. I came across this site looking for help with a problem.

I live in a modular home that was just built in Nov. 2008. The guest bathroom water has an awful smell to it. Smells like sewer water or something. It is awful! I can only smell it when the water is running. The shower or toilet do not smell this way and no other sinks in the house do either.

No one is drinking, brushing, or washing hands from this sink at the moment. Should I call a plumber? We have a well and have been having problems with lime and rock build up in the screens on faucets, the washer etc. Any connection between the two???

THX!

Hi,

We've had folks report about that before. Seems to me that one of the folks had tried everything to get rid of the smell but nothing worked until they'd used bleach in the drains and the sink overflow.

Any of the brethren remember that?

I think it had something to do with crud being trapped in the overflow area of the sink, if that's the same one you're thinking of. If it's only at one sink, I'd start by cleaning the trap and overflow....... I don't see how the smell would be coming from the supply side at only one location.

Unless each bath has a separate small elect. water heater.

Also might try cleaning the areator for that faucet.
