For the past couple of weeks, every morning there has been a "drainy" whiff in the kitchen. We have sink with a main bowl and a smaller centre bowl.
Careful inspection revealed that the outlet from the plug was weeping slightly - it must have been moved over a few years of having the plastic recycling box there. I emptied everything, tightened the connection and ensured it was bone dry for a couple of days left it all open to dry - with a dehumidifier for good measure - and thought "job well done".
However, the smell has either returned, or never went and seems to be coming from the centre plug. Which I have confirmed by putting the plug in and covering with water to find no smell in the morning.
On the basis I have poured bleach, disinfectant and caustic soda down the whole what has happened to cause this *now* ?
The output from the sink goes into a drain with a good air gap, so nothing is being pushed in from the drains.
