    Oder from Air return pipe
    I have a terrible oder coming from the air return in my home. About 9 months ago we had the same thing and the serviceman said it was from an open 1 1/2 inch pipe where the previous air handler was located. We had a new system installed and the air handler was moved to the attic. The oder has returned and someone told me that I needed to open up the pipe and flush it with about a gallon of water. I did this and the oder seemed to be better, but it returned the next morning. I need suggetions as to how to fix this problem permanently. Thanks!

    Where was the drain put from the airhandler in the attic? Does it have a trap?

Another bad oder issue [ 1 Answers ]

I recently moved into a house about 10-15 years old. It is two story and I noticed a "funky" odor in both of the bedrooms. They are across the hall from each other and the carpet may well be original (definitely not new). The odor is difficult to describe other than funky and maybe like something...
