Darius headed out to Wembley to investigate a very unwelcome surprise in a freshly refurbished bathroom — a persistent, nasty drain smell that just wouldn’t go away.
The bathroom looked new, clean, and modern… but something lurking in the floor gully was causing chaos.
🔎 Step 1: The Investigation
•Inspected the gully and found debris stuck at the bottom
•Confirmed the odor wasn’t caused by the new fixtures, but by hidden buildup
•Tried high-pressure jetting multiple times, but the smell persisted
💬 “If debris sits in the bottom of a gully, it ferments and creates nasty smells – this will solve it for good!”
🛠️ Step 2: Getting Creative
When the jetter wasn’t enough, Darius turned to a few MacGyver-style techniques:
•Dislodged stubborn debris with extra tools and persistence
•Applied sodium hydrochloride powder (a strong cleaning agent) to fully sanitize the gully
•Ensured all bacteria and waste particles were neutralized
✅ Step 3: Fresh Finish
•Drain thoroughly cleaned and odor-free
•Long-term solution in place for the homeowner
•Another case of plumbing detective work paying off!
