I live in an apartment and maintenance can't figure out the issue.
What happens is a sewer smell comes from the AC drain and spreads throughout the apartment when the AC is on. The cause isn't the vents since they were just cleaned. I've poured water down this drain in case the p-trap was dry. I've also poured bleach and pipe cleaner down it but that only eliminates the smell for a few hours.
The smell comes and goes. What I've noticed is when my neighbors are using their shower the smell comes out. And when they stop showering there's immediately a thump sound like something just closed in the pipes. What is happening?
