Foul Smell in Master Bath - P Trap in Wrong Place

A newly remodeled master bath has become a headache for a homeowner in Oregon. After flipping the location of the shower and tub and adding a freestanding tub, the homeowner noticed a foul smell emanating from the bathroom, leaving the homeowner perplexed.

The smell was soon traced to the drain of the newly installed freestanding tub. The homeowner soon realized that the P trap was installed in the wrong place. A P trap is an essential component of any plumbing system, as it traps a small amount of water, creating a barrier that stops sewer gas from flowing back into the bathroom. In this case, the P trap was preventing water from flowing into the trap, making the bathroom smell foul.

The homeowner quickly called for help, and a plumbing professional was called in to repair the faulty installation. Unfortunately, the smell lingered, and the homeowner continued to have issues. After further inspection, the plumber discovered that the P trap was too close to the drain, allowing wastewater to flow out of the trap, leaving the homeowner with a smelly overflow.

Experts speculate that the faulty installation is likely due to a lack of adequate training and knowledge about plumbing installations.
