    A few questions and we're off. Is there a garbage disposal installed? Does one drain smell worse the other? What have you done sib far? Back to you, Tom

    No there is no garbage disposal and it really doesn't smell like it's coming from the drain. The smell just smells up the whole kitchen and some of the house the snow is really bad when I open up the cabinet under the sink or in the closet where the washing machine and water heater are?

    If the smell isn't coming from the drains then there must be a open pipe either in the wall behind the sink cabinet or from then washer. Where's the smell the worst? Let me know, Tom

    Smell is the worst under the sink hand in the closet where the water heater is and washer and dryer. Is this smell bad for your health?

    No bad smell is GOOD for your health. Having said that sewer gas would be more harmful then rotting food. This sounds like sewer gas rather then anything else. When you drain the sink or washer do you hear any noise? Say, like a gurgle? Back to you, Tom

    No there are no noises. I think it smells only when I use hot water.

    In our farm kitchen we have a double sink & a single sink plus a dishwasher, with the bathroom right off the kitchen. We get terrible noise & smell... disgusting.
