No linkage available . I did spray bleach down in the overflow and down the drain and just let it sit overnight then ran water. So far it seems to have helped. I’m going to continue to do it once a week for a bit.

Closed the drain all day after I bleached it. Opened it up and within 10 mins smells awful. I think it’s getting worse.

A few observations- I closed the pop up drain overnight and no smell. I opened it about 30 minutes ago and it now smells. It’s odd because when I put my nose to the drain itself it doesn’t seem to smell strongest there (but at the overflow) however, closing the drain seems to contain the smell...

Bump!

I thought I posted this already but I can’t find it. Apologies if this is a repost. 2 months ago when renovating our kitchen below our main bath, we replaced the old galvanized drain pipes with pvc. They couldn’t remove the old cast iron vent/drain pipe so that stayed. They replaced the bathtub...

When looking at the first picture the left is the tub drain and the right side is the sink, they meet together and go to the toilet/main line

Just about 2 months ago, we renovated our kitchen below our bathroom. We used to opportunity to replace the old galvanized drain pipes and old barrel p trap for our bathtub with pvc. This was done by the plumber sub my contractor uses. Everything went pretty smoothly except for starting a few...
