There is always be standing water in the trap, as a result of the shape. This water acts as a barrier between the sewer (gasses) and the inside of your home.

Sweet build, by the way!
^^ What he said. The bend under the sink is the trap. You taped into it on the sewer side. Better to be connected on the house side of the trap. Make sense?

Yep it's called a P trap.

When you smell sewer gas, at a mall or something like that it is because the water in the P trap has evaporated. All you need to do in those cases is pour some water down the drain. In your case you have an open air tunnel to the poop.
