Hi,
I've very recently had work done at home (by builders) which involved replacing the sink in the kitchen amongst other things. When fitting the sink I believe the wrong waste pipe was delivered and for a day the pipes werent connected. The smell was really bad - very sulpury/eggy - and I understand this may be gas direct from the sewer usually blocked by water in the u bend. The sink is now apparently fixed but even when fixed yesterday, last night the smell was quite strong despite the window being open and today on arrival home the real eggy smell has gone replaced by a sort of spent match smell, which I guess could also be described as sulphur like. It's a much less unpleasent smell, but still a smell and this is with the window open.
Is this something to be concerned about - surely the smell should have gone now the pipes are fixed?
