What causes sewage smell in a house?
Common causes include dry drain traps, blocked or damaged plumbing vents, broken drain lines under the house, failed wax rings under toilets, septic problems and leftover contamination from a past backup. A plumber fixes the plumbing issue, and a cleanup team removes contaminated materials, cleans and disinfects, and deodorizes the space.
Finding the source
Some sewer smells are simple: a dry floor drain trap in a basement or guest bath. Others come from contamination left behind after a backup, or from a leaking line in the crawlspace.
We work with your plumber. Once the plumbing is fixed, we remove contaminated materials, disinfect and deodorize.
Common sources
- Leftover contamination after a backup
- Leaking drain lines under the house
- Toilet wax ring failures
- Septic system problems
- Contaminated insulation
