Chemical Odor After Having Granite Counter Tops Installed

It is the use of inferior padding on the sink ( sound deadening). There is a company that sells the padding to replace this and rid yourself of the smell. mysinkstinks.com check it out this will solve your odor problem. The inferior pads are loaded with petroleum and when you run hot water it will even get worse, that is the chemical smell you are getting.

I too have had a similar problem after installing a new granite counter top and undermount stainless steel kitchen sink. It's been 6 months now and the odour, which smells like a chemical, has not gone away. I've had several professionals take a look at it. One says the coating on the underside of the sink has not been sealed, another says the adhesives are causing the odour and have not cured. I ran a fan in the counter under the sink for a week with no improvement. Has anyone solved any similar problem? My next step is to remove the sink and install a different one.

We had new granite counter tops installed with a stainless steel under mount sink. We now have a terrible chemical odor. Any suggestions?
