Discuss Mouldy / Rotten smell around boiler in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi All,

Slightly strange query - there is a strong mouldy/rotting smell that seems to the coming from our boiler. The smell has been around for 2/3 weeks so do not think it is a dead mouse. The smell also slightly comes from the bathroom tap when we turn the hot water on.

From exposing the pipes, the previous owner seems to have put an odour remover in there that would indicate maybe it has previously been a problem.

Any ideas as to what this could be?

Thanks

Looks like a poor install
Where does the white pipe connect to the waste Pipework
 
Well, those Mr Blobby solder joints definitely stink!
Poss. dead animal esp if it only started happening a few weeks ago with no other obvious cause eg. work done.
 
Probably wafted through the cupboards to the boiler area, can we have a photo of any waste pipes in the cupboards nearby, also can you look under the plinth if it's removable.
