I Smell Sewer Gas! What Do I Do?

July 25, 2019

The smell of sewer gas in or around your home can signal a big problem, but before you freak out, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to help pinpoint the source.

  1. Run a small amount of water through all drains, especially fixtures that are not used frequently. Each fixture has a trap that holds water to keep gas out and sometimes that water can evaporate.
  2. Check your toilets and make sure they are solid mounted to the floor and not movable. If they can lift up or turn, you may want to reset them with new wax rings. Properly functioning wax rings prevent sewer smell from seeping in.
  3. Look under your home for any broken pipes, leaks, or large cracks in your foundation.
  4. Pay particular attention while using large volumes of water, and listen for any bubbling or gurgling coming from drains. This could indicate that your sewer main is starting to clog.

No matter your job, big or small, Sanders Plumbing can handle them all. Call Sanders Plumbing Company today at 865-922-9175 to schedule an appointment!

“We called Sanders Plumbing for the first time on a Saturday night about 10 o’clock when our faucet head broke and we had about an inch of water standing in our bathroom. By the time they finished we had a new jacuzzi and everything had been retiled. At each step of the way if there was something I didn’t like they were more than willing to change it and make it look the way I wanted it to. Have nothing but good things to say about working with Pete and his folks.”
