Hi all
New apartment with washing machine in a room off the kitchen.
Minor smell in the room. The washing machine appears to waste via a standpipe with no trap, ie straight down and then 90 degrees into the wall. I have no access to the other side of this wall (tiled bathroom on the other side).
Is it possible to seal the entrance to the standpipe with a silicone seal or would that cause problems for the washing machine?
it seems like it would be very difficult to connect a new standpipe in this location, as there’s not a lot of horizontal pipe to play with before it goes into the wall
many thanks!
