I have a strong smell coming from kitchen sick that just won't go
away.........it smells quite strong.

I have removed the cap that screws on at the bottom and nothing there and I
have checked and cleaned trap, and yes there was scum there. I cleaned the
best I could , but still strong smell.

How do I fix this? where is it coming from?



Is this artesian well water? It can stink but is mighty tasty.

Bakin' Soda in the pipe drain?



An artesian well is a specific type of well that requires that the
source of the water is above the elevation of the destination, like from
a nearby mountain. An artesian well is powered by gravity alone. Most
household wells are fed by underground aquifers and require pumps to
lift the water from the aquifer. Some of these wells have a sulfur odor.
