Bad smells in the bathroom.
One of the causes of a strong smell in the bathroom is the toilet trap. This device is used to neutralize wastewater odors and prevent them from reaching homes when water accumulates in a section of pipe.
It may happen that the water in our siphon dries out and therefore eliminates the main protection against bad odors in the bathroom.
The bad smell in the bathroom could also be due to the sealing of the pipes , which were not properly sealed. This situation can cause gas to escape from the sewer system without causing a water leak.
In this case, one solution to the problem is to seal the leak with caulk or tape.
Bad odors coming from “old pipes”
Old pipes encourage the proliferation of bacteria and yeast that cause bad odors in the pipes.
Stagnant water and waste materials form layers that clog pipes and cause toilet odors . Even poor ventilation in the bathroom without windows that do not allow proper air passage or the consequent creation of humidity can be responsible for the bad smell of the toilet.
In this case it is a good idea to equip yourself with a bathroom extractor fan to avoid mold and humidity.
