What does a sewage odore smell like?
We have just had all the plumbing redone in our apartment and in the bedroom there is now a very strange smell and I am wondering if it could be sewage related. It is a sweet chel
Mical milky fermented smell - not paint like, is this the smell of sewage? There was a toilet by the bedroom but we took it out to expand the bedroom, also there is a pipe which we covererd around which aparently is a pipe for sewage. Could this be the problem? The pipes were not blocked properly when they did the renovations? |

If the replumb was done with CPVC and PVC, you are probably smelling some of the solvent from the glue and it will go away. Sewer gas/smells are very much like a #2, not very Sweet Chemical! Was the toilet pipe capped? It should be well sealed as well as any other drain pipes.

Nothing sweet about a sewer smell, smells like someone broke wind X10. If there was sewer gas coming out of that pipe it would be gone in a few minutes after it was capped. Sounds like you did more than just remove a toilet so I good with solvent smells or even silcone sealant. Silicone can smell for days and it is sweet, acrid, chemically skell. If its not gone after 3-4 days come back and tell us. |
