I installed a new bathroom vanity and sink. Ever since, whenever you run
HOT water in the sink, you get a strong odor of sewer gas. I have taken it
apart several times, cleaned it, ran bleach water down the drain and
overflow, checked to make sure the drain pipes were correct, etc. Whatever I
do, the smell returns in a couple days. Any one have any Ideas what I can
try next?

Did you install a goose neck? Any chance that the water is getting sucked
out of the goose neck? or drying up?

Yes, I used the same pipes that were on the old sink, and every time I take
it apart, the trap is full of water.

Same deal with my bathroom sink, I never noticed any sewer smell before
the new faucet then once I installed it, when the hot water is running,
it smells of sewer the first couple seconds, and then goes away, always
to return. I dont know why this is. Only when I run the Hot water do I
smell it. Strange...

I have this problem in the kitchen sink, and it happened after I installed
new faucet. This happens when I turn on cold water and the smell goes away
after a minute or so. Anyone have a solution.
