The causes of drain odour

• Bacteria and clogs the blocked drains and the
  accumulation of bacteria are the most common
  reason of the drain smelling foul. Whenever you
  notice that the sink or the pipeline is clogged
  and the smell is coming from thereon, be assured
  that it is because of the buildup of bacteria on
  the pipeline due to the accumulation of stuff
  like hair, grease, and other debris on the
  pipeline.
• Water issues the sulfate concentration of the
  water makes it smelly and when it comes in
  contact with the water heaters, it reacts in a
  way that creates rotten egg kind of smell,
  thereby leading to the foul smelly drain.

• sewer smells in most cases where maybe the drain
  is left unused for long, the sewer smell rises up
  the drain and causes it to smell foul. Also,
  sewer gas leaks can show the same consequences if
  left untreated.
• Mould/mildews in case of leakage in the pipe,
  the mould or the mildews start building up. When
  they grow in large quantity, they start smelling
  foul which in turn causes the foul smelling of
  the entire drainage system.

Well, these were the most relevant reasons why a
drain smells foul. Now, we must move on to the
ways of getting rid of the smelly drains at the
