    We are having trouble with a island loop vent with a 3 bowl sink and garbage disposal
    We are having odor problems when we first turn on our water on this loop vent with 3 bowl sink. Before the remodel we never had this problem

    Hi JeannieJ...

    I suspect the issue may be at the drainage/vent system. Any chance you can post a picture of the piping under the sink? More pictures will help!

    A little more information please. Is the smell worse on one tub or do all of them smell? If one drain smells worse witch one is it? Any gurgles when you drain? Any information plus a picture would sure help. Regards, Tom

    There is no Additional Options. When I add the URL nothing happened. I accidentally uploaded the picture to my profile.
