An Easy and Cheap Cure for Floor Drain Smell...

Post by thighlander » March 30, 2018, 2:36 pm

I discovered something recently, that really helped improve my old condo. My new place doesn't have the problem because it has a trap door kind of thing so gas doesn't come back through. Often the problem with the old drains is that the tile raises the cap just enough so it doesn't submerge into the ring of water enough to form a seal, or there is simply no water in the ring, when the place is vacant for several days, as it evaporates. This can also be a big source of bugs/mosquitoes coming into your place. Solution: A silica gel insert that allows water through, but doesn't allow bugs/ gas to come through the reverse way. They come in 4 sizes, and measuring the drain hole is critical. About 130 THB on Banggood. I will post a link if anyone needs it. I have heard many complaints over the years about the nonsense smells in bathrooms, even when no one has recently shat. Problem solved. Sheers!
