If there's no downdraft ventilation on the wastewater system, this lack of ventilation can create a strong negative pressure when a large mass of water passes through the drainpipe, which sucks the water out of the siphon. As a result, unpleasant odours are no longer blocked, but rise up and spread throughout the room.
To eliminate desiphonage, a ventilation system (external air intake) is required to compensate for the draught produced in the pipes.
Ventilation must always be positioned upstream of the body of water generating the negative pressure in the pipes.
