How To Find The Toilet Odor Source

Your home toilet is not often smell? Even clean and clean, but there is always a lingering smell, not only ruin your mood, when guests are also very embarrassed. According to the decoration industry experts, the toilet odor is likely to be due to the construction, installation is not in place due to the decoration, the owners must pay enough attention to the acceptance. Today to introduce how to find out the source, an antidote against the disease, the eradication of the bathroom smell.

Tiles Konggu water

Phenomenon: in the bathroom floor tile, because the construction is not in place, the bottom of the cement tile after drying, the larger gap between the cement layer and ceramic tile, struck with a hard object from the "empty" sound, called "hollowing". When bathing, water will follow the tile cracks into tiles and cement layer hollowing, and the cement layer is below the waterproof layer, so the hollowing water is difficult to evaporate, a long time will spoil and smelly.

Inspection method: with the key of tile by block percussion, whether to listen to the voice of empty drums. According to the relevant standards, each tile Konggu area not exceeding 5%. In fact, as long as you can hear the empty drum ceramic tile, hollowing area are more than 20%, should be posted.

Remedy: if it is just puwan tile when checking out, must require the construction side to dig out a Konggu tiles re paving; if found after occupancy, you can tick off the sealant hollowing and near tile joints between the new polymer for the beauty of material joint agent pointing, can prevent water infiltration in a certain extent.

The toilet not seal or seal failure

Phenomenon: in the installation of the toilet, the toilet and sewer pipe through a "H" shaped flange seal, and in the toilet and the ground contact part of the glue to fix and seal. If the toilet installation and a drainage tube dislocation, or flange toilet and pipe sealing, and some even missing flange, and the barrel body and the ground sealant fall off, will cause the sewer odors from the gap. In addition, the toilet has S bent structure and water and sewers to ensure air separation, if the water is too shallow, it will cause seal failure.

Inspection methods: Observation of the barrel body and the ground sealant is intact, generally two to three years after the sealant will be aging failure; if necessary, remove the toilet, check whether the installation of the flange, the flange is installed in place, whether the crack; toilet behind, usually do not see where there are two holes, the two hole is the fixed screws, but now there is no screw, the two holes are sealed with glass glue, otherwise it will leak check toilet water seal depth.

Remedy: on the barrel body contact with the ground position to re glue seal is generally too shallow; the problem of product design, only pay attention to the time of purchase, you can also check whether there is a water fault.

The floor drain seal or seal failure

According to the phenomenon that the floor drain sealing mode can be divided into water seal type mechanical seal type floor drain and drain, the water seal type floor drain through a similar "S" type of trap seal, trap must have sufficient depth to achieve effective sealing, if the seal structure is too shallow, or trap in the water will evaporate lose the sealing effect, causing odor leakage; mechanical seal type floor drain by gravity or pressure seal valve opening and closing seal, if the closing structure problems, such as hair wrapped, clogged, seal will fail. In addition, shower bath hair and other residues, flow into the sewer drain, long-term residual wall floor drain, after smell, can also cause the peculiar smell in the toilet.

Check: check whether the gap between the floor and the ground; can reach the water depth of 5 cm or more, if there is water in the water seal; mechanical retractable structure is normal.

Remedy: the floor drain and the ground through the sealant seal; replacement of deep water seal floor drain; for less frequently used to drain the timely replenishment, to ensure effective seal.

Wash basin under the water pipe back to the taste

Phenomenon: wash basin mouth through the drain pipe and sewer connection, there are three places prone to taste. First, the drainage tube is directly inserted into the water pipes, the interface is not sealed; second, no S type drain trap seal, or drainage pipe with a sealing device, but hair wrapped by foreign bodies, resulting in seal failure; third, hair and other residues attached to the tube wall in the water, after a long time of deterioration, odor formation.

Inspection method: check whether the drainage pipe and sewer connection is sealed; drainage pipe is sealed device and whether the failure.

Remedy: drainage pipe sealing and water pipes are connected with sealant, once every six months; replacement with drainage type S water bend pipe, if the drainage tube length allowed, can take the fixed measure to bending a S bending; regular cleaning of drainage pipe wall.

The smell from the air outlet

Phenomenon: the row connecting air pipe and main pipe where there will be a check valve, under normal circumstances, when you open the exhaust fan, blade of wind will blow the check valve open, gas discharge indoor; closed exhaust fan, check valve blade inverse is closed, form a sealed state. However, if you do not install the check valve or check valve failure, the blade can not be closed, then the other people in the pipeline may be discharged into the gas into your home. In addition, in the decoration of the demolition may be part of the air duct, in fact, the design of the air duct itself has a certain anti reverse, although little effect, but also useful, it is best not to dismantle.

Check method: check whether the check valve and check valve are installed.

Remedy: install and replace the check valve. In the wall of the check valve must be used around the glass sealant to do sealing treatment, so as to prevent odor from the edge of the overflow, while the check valve and hose connection should also use some glass glue.

Sanitary dead angle

Phenomenon: because there is always hope that in the limited bathroom installed under the more, so the bathroom is full to the brim, so it is easy to have some difficult to clean the toilet behind, such as health corner, mop pool etc.. These health corner will have hair, garbage, dirty water, or rather damp moldy odor.

Inspection methods: behind the toilet is not a hairy apple; the corner is not moldy black.

Remedy: try not to engage in the bathroom decoration too crowded, not only convenient cleaning, in case there are also problems of maintenance; the bathroom design dry separation ", let the shower area less contact with water; for the dead is not easy to dry regularly with disinfectant wipe, prevent mildew.
