Hi all,
I am suffering with sewer gas coming from my sink when it drains. I live in a block of flats and need to find out if the problem is my plumbing (my responsibility) or the drains (management company's responsibility).
I had the trap replaced recently, which did not solve the problem. Looking at the p-trap I am concerned that the horizontal arm is very short and that there is no vent.
I attach an image. Does it look like my ptrap was incorrectly fitted?
Other symptoms: My washing machine drains via this ptrap as well. When it drains, the sink gurgles and water often rises from the washing machine through the plug hole.
Does all this sound / look like a problem with my pipes or a problem with the drain venting?
I'd be very grateful for any help.
