    Sewer Gas smell coming from Kitchen drain
    I am having problem with a smell coming from the Kitchen drain. I checked all drains in the house and the only one that as an odor is in the Kitchen. I have poured Drano and Vinegar down the drain but no results. Please Help.

    You should call plumber. Try using a Pling which is a little yellow ball that smells like lemom to get the gas smell out. You get it at the groccery store.

    Do you have a disposal unit? Tom

    FOR SEWER SMELL IN BATHROOM: I had the same problem in my 1953 home. If I flushed the toilet, I could hear air being gurgling down through the bathtub's p-pipe. SOLUTION: Go to Home Depot and buy an inline-vent ($8 or less). It's a one-way valve that sucks air in, but won't let fluids out. Splice it into your plumbing using a tee-fitting between the p-trap of bathtub and toilet. RESULT: When you flush your toilet, air will be sucked in through the inline-vent instead of from your bathtub, and no more stink.

    You piggybacked on a 4 year old dead thread . Before you post look in the upper left hand corner for the date..
