Rotten egg smell in bedroom
In article
, matthelliwell writes I'm looking for ideas as to what may be causing the rotten egg smell in our bedroom. We had that in our 1930's house and being no DIY expert I just offer this as a suggestion but it turned out to be the Bakelite type fixture on the bedroom light. It ponged awful.

Thanks for everyone's replies. No bakelite in the room in the room though the smell seems to have decreased recently for some undetermined reason. No doubt it will stay away until we have guests. |

Not rotten eggs but a distinctly sewerey pong whenever hot water was flushed down a kitchen sink. This was a flat conversion involving a very long waste run from the sink to an internal soil stack. I think we have mentioned before the effect of *horizontal* waste pipes! In this case, the pong was travelling up the boxing of the soil stack so presumably the problem started in the basement. The landlord, occupying the basement, could not be persuaded to seek professional help so some expanding foam was quietly introduced to the boxing. regards -- Tim Lamb |
