Terry, I have an Island Kitchen Sink with a horrible odor underneath strickly in the cabinet area. Home is 18 months old, problem odor has been there for 1 month. We used most of your listed suggestions and was hoping you might have some other ideas. Called in Plumber and Here is the list:
Filled basins to top and let water flow to check for leaks.
Replaced AAV and also tried to tape it closed for a period of time.
Taped closed other pipe joints.
Tried Bleach through the dishwasher.
Cleaned out Disposal with Blue cleaner products and brushes.
P Traps are fine.
Cut hole in side of Cabinet to look for leaks or Critters.
Looked under Cabinet for leaks or Critters (On a Slab).
Tried different Deordorizers, Baking Soda, Vinegar.
Opened electrical outlets behind walls to sniff for odors.
Used Magic odor Absorber and Fans to air out.
The Plumber gave up and said he does not think its sewer gas.
Neighbor works for Natural Gas Co. came over and said he thinks maybe Sewage smell.
Had Exterminator check odor and he said not a Rodent but also does not smell like sewer gases. Odor still there. I was thinking of having the plumber rip out the cabinet floor and cap off the sewer drain and eliminate the pipes.
I don't think it is sewer or Rodents. Could it be that an odor got imbedded in the wood of the Cabinet?
Appreciate any help or things I might have overlooked.
