Install a proper P-trap or "U" bend water trap. Solution is final... There is nothing improper about a bell trap and it will work fine with water and can be easily cleaned from floor level without the need for chemicals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty airtight. But then a water hose broke in this bathroom and the water could not run down the drain. I have learnt my lesson ???? Agreed. A dodgy water-hose (bum gun) can cause a lot of damage in a short time.???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
