I have two sinks in my bathroom. It is a master bath upstairs. When I turn on the cold faucet on my sink I get a sewer odor. The odor is powerful, but only last for a few seconds. I know that the water is under pressure and is a closed system, so how is the smell getting into the water? I have tried turning on the hot water first and no smell. I have taken my pipes off and cleaned them. It does not smell on my wifes sink. What is going on? the smell only happens when I first turn the cold water on and after there has been no activity for a while.
