traps: Helpful hint -- empty nesters and those with unused bathrooms. - 12/23/08 07:38 AM
Another post on the board reminded me of this type of issue recently.  A lot of my friends are in this situation where I live. Their children are grown and out of the house and there are bathtubs, showers and sinks no longer used on a regular basis. The water in the trap evaporates. This water is used to keep the harmful gases and odors from coming back into the structure.
 
It's a good idea to add some water to these on a regular basis to prevent this.
 
Have a safe and happy holiday season!!
