    Where to Drill for Investigating Mold Smell? Sending up a Camera...

    After putting holes in the bathroom wall and seeking to find a bad shower connection, I've concluded that it's not the bathroom. The smell pooling in the hallway is coming from inside or just outside the furnace closet. One day after years of logging in my calendar "Wet Mop Smell; no...

    When I turn on my Air Conditioner my laundry room drain smells.

    Hi everyone! First post here looking for some help! A couple years ago we had a sewer backup that left us with 3 feet of water in our basement. After that we had to replace our air conditioner and we started to smell sewer (the same smell from the flood) around our house. We thought it was the...

    Did I get a returned, used toilet? Smells like urine right out of the box.

    I just unboxed my new Kohler Highline toilet from HD and am noticing a faint urine smell on the base. Inside the bowl, at the very bottom where it enters the trapway, there are little particles, like loose specks of cardboard. The same area also has a light blue stain, like some toilet cleaner...

    Sewer gas smell in bathroom is a mystery?

    I own a 2 story townhome on a slab with no basement. Our downstairs bathroom has had a sewer smell develop in it and I also noticed the toilet was rocking side to side. I pulled it off to find a broken pvc closet flange. Replaced the flange and set it back on with a new thick wax ring with no...

    Smell at base of toilet ONLY during mild temps (around 60 degrees)

    Bought a 1950s Cape last August and immediately remodeled the main floor bathroom. Put a new toilet in (a cheap dual-flush model from Sam's Club--which might be the problem but I'll continue) and had some water around the base after a few days. Since the pipe is cast iron leading to PVC in the...

    Washing machine stinks of rotten eggs when running

    I know this has been brought up numerous times before, but I thought I'd ask anyway since there are a few things that might be unique to my situation. BTW, in Los Angeles, Calif. Our 30 plus yr old washer finally died. It was a good old Maytag. I knew of a local business with a good reputation...

    Musty smell under bathroom sink

    I've put a fan under there for a day so nothing seems wet (the board & wood are dry to the touch). Does anyone know what could be causing this smell?

    What to do if Culligan can't fix it?

    Hi, I'm paying through the nose to rent a system from Culligan that isn't doing the job. I've called them out twice in the past 1.5 years and both times they've told me the water is fine. Trouble is, I'm still using a filter on the tap in the kitchen because the water smells metallic and leaves...
