    Question about swamp gas smell in plumbing

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem, and if so what can be done.

    We have a problems with swamp gas smell coming out of one(and only one) of our faucetts. It is not coming from the drain. It only comes out of it with the cold water, never hot water. It almost always happens first thing in the morning, but does occur other times in the day as well. Our house is 2 1/2 years old and it started happening about 9 months ago.

    Any ideas?

    TIA

    Stop using that faucet as a bidet. That just isn't want it is meant to do, and certainly not that close.

        Is your house new?

            The faucet that stinks-- is it the only faucet on that side of the house? (Is it the only one that faces in that direction?)

              Well or city water?
              There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

                    So the tub faucet and the shower faucet are not on the same wall as the lavatory faucet?

                      No. The tub and shower are on the same wall, the sink is on the opposite side
