    Rotten Egg smell when washer runs

    Btw, what is the consensus -is it better to use a drum trap or P trap here? I was told in the past to use a drum trap for cases where water flow is strong (like washer and maybe a shower). Is this not the case?

    Rotten Egg smell when washer runs

    Thanks everyone. Smooky, now I understand. I didn't even think of that, but I'm sure that could be the problem. Makes total sense now, since the pipe is "dropping" back down into the other pipe. As far as my front loader goes, we always leave the door open and wipe the gasket. I don't...

    Rotten Egg smell when washer runs

    Thank you, Terry & HJ. I don't quite understand. The vent (main stack) is only 2 feet away, so I thought this was ok (main stack is visible on the far left). Do I not need a drum trap and should replace with a standard trap? The line coming from the right comes from a laundry sink, which has...

    Rotten Egg smell when washer runs

    Over the past year or so, we have noticed a rotten egg (sewer) smell in our laundry area when the washing machine is running or has run. We have a Frigidaire side loader that we purchased new about 4 years ago. We never had a problem with it making a smell in the first 3 years. I'm 99% sure...

    Strange sound only from HOT water

    strange sound First, I want to thank you all for your input so far. I highly doubt it's a loose washer in a valve. As I said, all the plumbing in the house is new (3-4 years old). All the shutoffs are the good ball valve type. It does sound like a jack hammer sound, but from...

    Strange sound only from HOT water

    I have a strange sound that only happens when the hot water is turned on. It started happening after I remodeled my upstairs bathroom with new faucets (new tub/shower diverter/fixtures and sink faucet). (I had previously done new copper piping to this bathrm about 3 years prior, but the sound...
