We renovated our main bathroom 2 years ago and purchased a vanity that at the time worked best with a rubber p trap.

For the past 2-3 months, I noticed a horrible smell coming from the sink. The smell got worse now that it’s warmer and that bathroom gets shitty AC coverage.

I pulled the p trap, there was a bunch of gunk in there .. washed it all out, after 30 min of cleaning and brushing I got 98% out.

After install, the smell was still there.

I pulled drain pipe and found that the drain pipe wasn’t connected correctly to the overflow holes on it. I ended up pulling out a cup worth of stuck gunk in the overflow channel. The smell was that what I been smelling. I thought finally problem solved .. installed everything back after cleaning it, this time properly. 2 days later the smell is back and it’s still there.

At this point I have no fkn idea wat could be causing it? The smell is not ur average sewer gas smell, it’s almost like rotten food, spoiled milk and a touch of ass.

Could it be that the rubber p trap is causing the smell? One of my first thoughts was it’s the wooden vanity but when I pulled the drawers and took them out, they had 0 smell.

No traces of mold anywhere under the vanity.
