When someone takes a shower upstairs, we get a really strong 'egg' type sewer smell in the kitchen. All the waste pipes (except the stack) exit into the same outside drain. The waste pipes for the washing machine/dishwasher dont currently have p-traps fitted. Therefore I thought that the smell was rising through the un-trapped w/m and d/w waste pipes and into the kitchen.
However, last night as someone taking a shower sure enough the smell returned, so I went outside to see if the drain had the same smell. It didn't smell at all but the kitchen still smelt awful.
Any ideas?
