D-Pad posted:This drain/pipe thingy the washer drains into has an unholy sewage type smell coming from it. Can I just pour bleach down it or does it need a plumber to come clean it out or something? How do I fix this? In addition to the mention of a ptrap above, it's possibly also worth checking if your drain pipe is wide enough there to keep up with the insane drainage flow rate of modern washing machines. I discovered that problem last year; installing an air admittance valve allowed air to enter behind the tail of the slug of water drained from the washing machine, preventing a greedy siphon effect from sucking the ptrap dry. It looks like older standard practice was to install a 1 1/2" inch drain pipe for laundry, but newer codes call for 2" to address the increased flow rate of new machines. A good plumber will know what's up here. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Mar 18, 2024 |
