A sewer smell in your house can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience. There are a few potential causes of this issue, and several steps you can take to address it. Take a look at some recommendations by Septic Blue on how to handle sewer smell.
One common cause of a sewer smell in your house is a full or malfunctioning septic tank. The septic tank is responsible for storing and processing wastewater from your home. If it becomes full or is not functioning properly, it can lead to a sewer smell inside your house. In this case, it is important to have your septic tank pumped by a septic company. Septic tank pumping is the process of removing the accumulated sludge and scum from the tank. This will help to alleviate the sewer smell and ensure that your septic system is functioning properly.
Another potential cause of a sewer smell in your house is a clogged or broken sewer line. The sewer line is responsible for transporting wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or your septic tank. If the line becomes clogged or broken, it can lead to a sewer smell inside your house. In this case, it is important to contact a septic company to diagnose and repair the issue. They may use a camera to inspect the inside of your sewer line and identify the problem, then use hydro jetting or other methods to clear the blockage or repair the broken pipe.
A third potential cause of a sewer smell in your house is a dry P-trap. A P-trap is a device that is installed in your plumbing to prevent sewer gas from entering your home. It is designed to hold a small amount of water to create a barrier that the gas cannot pass through. If the P-trap dries out, the barrier is removed and the gas can enter your home, causing a sewer smell. In this case, simply running water down the drain or flushing the toilet can often refill the P-trap and solve the problem.
In addition to addressing the specific cause of the sewer smell, there are several steps you can take to prevent it from happening in the future. These include:
