How very dare you! It’s like roses.I say this every time the topic of bats comes up around here, but batpiss absolutely stinks. It is not a good idea to commune with bats immediately before taking a 4 hour train journey.
A humidifier hired from hss or a plant hire firm is your best bet to get damp sorted slightly quicker. It will smell though. That amount of water takes ages to soak through and dry up.Hey, hope it's ok to ask here.
A few days ago the bathroom had a major flood. It temporarily affected electricity in the flat below, some of the water seeped under the wall into the adjoining bedroom. There's already no real flooring in the bathroom. But anyway. The leak was from the sink pipe, not the toilet, but the whole flat reeks of sewer. It seems to be getting worse rather than better and is making me feel ill.
I don't know the best way to address this problem?
There's an issue with the tap, so we're just avoiding the sink and using the kitchen one instead. I did wonder if the smell was caused by electrical damage, but there've been no problems with light switches etc.Eta. Are you not using the sink ? The trap might be dried out .
Haha love that description.Edit: and it's always okay to post whatever you like here, it's the One Show of Tattle threads.
You need a good dehumidifier. You can hire them. Spraying hydrogen peroxide on flooring might help with the smell.Hey, hope it's ok to ask here.

eta, my main worry is any adverse health effects.
Seen you’re not using the sink. Poor some hot water and soda crystals down it. If that doesn’t work, go for drain unblocker and periodically pour water down that drain.Thanks @Hollaaa and @mchops for suggestions. I've tried spraying the floor with disinfectant and using a fan I bought during the heatwave. Windows have been open during the day despite the rain, but unfortunately they need to be closed at night because the balcony light attracts insects.

I was trying to figure out if I needed to call someone in to deal with it or if the problem will resolve itself eventually.

Hate to admit that my first thought after the flooding was 'is this how the lingering honk smells?'Just been downstairs and our kitchen smells of eggs because we had boiled eggs with a salad for dinner. No sardines, mind you, so it could have been worse.
Maybe try drying them out on a radiator.No sardines, mind you, so it could have been worse.
I love BatCatSueHanging upside down isn't weird if you're a bat. Also Good excuse to repost the Susan-as-bat @BubbleDuck made a couple of Halloweens ago.

I feel for you, pain is more than just physical. It can really mess with your mental health as well.In so much pain this morning. Got to do school run regardless. I consider myself blessed not to have had this pain my whole life but ugggh I’m really finding it hard today. 3 ibuprofen for breakfast. They better work fast.
