Hi folks,
Looking to get some opinions to ensure I'm not missing something before I engage with my landlord about a problem I'm having with a stinky kitchen. We're getting intermittently smelly kitchen, broadly a 'light' sewage smell.
I took the skirt off the kitchen base units to track where the waste was and its directly below the kitchen sink. The 'seal' is just sort of sitting on top of where the pipe enters the hole in the slab with the waste pipe just able to loosely move up and down if I hold it.
There is also a weird semi-sealed T-junction with a pipe from the wall which is probably the boiler condensate discharge (its comes out of the wall, looks like its supposed to seal, but it isn't sealed as I can easily move it).
Is this likely to be the cause of my kitchen stink?
(In case it could be somehow related - I've also got a different problem with the bath drain siphoning the bathroom sink trap, resulting in a stinky bathroom when I drain the bath - but this is a different internal waste thats boxed in, in the middle of the house - but it does seem that the dishwasher in the kitchen drains into that).
