    Why does under my kitchen sink smell like dead animal?
    I have looked under my entire house and even under the kitchen sink and dishwasher and I did not find anything. The smell is worse under my kitchen sink where I have noticed there is a little bit of moisture. I got under the house and the smell is there as well so I thought a dead animal until I did not find anything. The smell has come and gone before but it is worse when it is warm outside. Can someone please help the smell is killing me it takes your breath away when you walk in the front door... ewwwww...

    When you detect a little bit of moisture under a sink I can tell you this usually means a lot of moisture soaked into the wood over months/years. A slow drip every minute can add up to ten or more gallons a day. You likely have mold, rot and mildew but you have to find the drip before you even think of repairing the wet floor. Wrap your drain piep and trap with toilet paper, also wrap the supply lines and stop valves. Witin minutes you are likely to spot your first leak. Back to you
