Sewer gas in bathroom at work building

Featured Replies

Bathroom in common area at work building (common area not owned/leased by my employer) has a floor drain that is emanating sewer gas.  Noticed it the past couple of days when I used the facilities, not sure what the concentration is;  it’s a strong smell, but not enough that it makes my eyes itch or induces coughing.

I bet it’s a dry trap in the floor drain.  I brought it up to the building’s security/front desk a few weeks ago when I noticed it before.

How big a concern is it?  Just deal with it?  Get a pitcher and pour water down the drain next time I’m in there?  Or go nuclear and call the fire department/OSHA?

Bad wax seal

I'd try to pour the water down first. Water might have evaporated out of a trap like you are thinking.  

Dry trap.  Happens all the time.  There are liquids you can buy that evaporate more slowly than water....but just pour water down the drain.

Duh, jus read floor drain. Ya dry trap.

& @voyager9 you seriously need to get out more. I think it’s stunting your growth emotionally.
