Un hecho que ocurre, con especial incidencia en segundas residencias y en viviendas con largos períodos sin habitarse, es que el cierre hidráulico de los aparatos sanitarios desaparezca por la evaporación del agua que contienen sus sifones. En estas circunstancias, y sobre todo si no existe una adecuada ventilación primaria y secundaria de la red de evacuación, los gases procedentes de las bajantes, albañales, cloacas o fosas sépticas penetran en el cuarto de baño provocando además de malos olores, el ataque de los elementos metálicos, incluidos los recubrimientos de las griferías, ya que en la composición de estas emanaciones suelen intervenir gases amoniacales, sulfhídricos, etc. 1, record 1, Spanish, - cierre%20hidr%C3%A1ulico
