Bad Odors?

Jan 19, 2018

If you smell a bad odor coming from your bathroom chances are that it is sewage gas coming up from your drain lines. There could be several reasons for the smell, some very dangerous, and you should call a plumber immediately. The smell is can be very hazardous to your health. This smell can contain bacteria and methane gases which in high concentrations can cause an explosion.

There are online suggestions saying to use bleach for a while, then vinegar, then wait a bit and add baking soda. If you try these remedies be very, very careful if you mix bleach and vinegar as it will produce a very toxic chlorine and chloramine gas which can be fatal. Each of your drain lines should have what is called a P-Trap. A P-Trap creates a water seal that prevents gases from coming back into your house. Your main drain lines may have what is called a vent pipe. These vents are sometimes vented out the top of your house. Ever wondered about the white pipe sticking out of the top of your house? Indeed, that is a vent pipe.

Other reasons that you could be smelling odor include:

the wax ring on your toilet needs to be replaced
you may have cracked drain lines under your house
your vent pipe may be stopped up
your main drain line may be clogged up
a P-Trap was never installed in your house

The good thing about the odor is that a plumber can and usually finds the problem and fixes it painlessly and quickly.

We called Shads Plumbing to come out to look at some problems we were having. I met Steve and he walked me through some problems that he saw and explained to me in detail how he would fix them. He gave me an estimate of what I wanted done and he was a whole lot cheaper than others that I had called. They came out the next day and fixed all my problems. I was very impressed!! I would recommend Shads Plumbing to anyone who wants a job done right at a great cost.
