Hello -
Looking for some advice. We purchased our new construction home in December of 2017. Since first moving In we noticed an odor under the kitchen sink- sometimes its worse/stronger. It doesn’t seem to be coming from the drain above - it’s really prevalent under the sink cabinet.
We’ve had the plumbers, dishwashing guys, builder, etc out here. They done smoke tests, sealed more around pipes, tore out a wall in our island to seal where the pipe goes into the foundation, etc. The dishwasher doesn’t smell nor does the drain line from the dishwasher to the disposal. We ran the cleaning tablets in the dishwasher and have also done the lemon, ice, baking soda/vinegar, etc cleanings for the sink/disposal.
Given they haven’t been able to resolve, their response is now that they are closing out the warranty as there’s no issues found. Unfortunately there’s still an odor when we open the kitchen cabinet and sometimes more obvious in the kitchen (we think it’s related to when we run the dishwasher and there’s a lot of water going through the pipes).
The sink is installed in an island and I’ve attached some pictures of what it looks like in case that’s helpful. From what I’ve read it could be an issue w/ venting perhaps?
Looking for any advice/guidance - thank you in advance.
