we live in the top flat of a converted victorian house. when we drain water from the bathroom sink, there is often a smell of sewer gas (horrible sulphur smell) which comes up through the kitchen sink. i have tried using drain cleaner to clear any blockages. i have also checked and cleaned the P-traps under both sinks. when we drain water from the bathroom sink, sometimes water bubbles up through the bath, although this does not seem to be accompanied by a smell.
Old british houses (ours included i think) usually have 2 drainage systems - the sewage from the toilet is drained via one system, and waste water from the sinks/bath etc via another. I do not understand how this horrid smell is coming up through our sink - if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
thanks, helen
