Common Causes of Sewer Odor in Your Home
If you notice a sewer smell in your bathroom, kitchen, or anywhere else in your home, it’s important to address it quickly. Sewer odors are often caused by issues within your plumbing system that need to be resolved to prevent further problems. Here are some common causes of sewer odor that our Dallas sewer leak repair specialists can address:
- Cracked Water Trap Under the Floor Drain: A lack of use can cause water in the floor drain trap to evaporate, leading to cracks and allowing sewer gas to escape. Adding water to the drain can restore the trap and eliminate the odor.
- Missing Clean-Out Plug in the Floor Drain: The clean-out plug inside the drain prevents sewer gas from escaping. If the plug is missing or damaged, replacing it can stop the smell.
- Evaporated Water in the Toilet Trap: If a toilet is not used for an extended period, the water in the trap can evaporate, leading to sewer odors. Regular use of the toilet helps maintain the water level in the trap.
- Faulty Wax Ring Between the Toilet Flange and Base: A damaged wax ring between your toilet and the sewer line can allow sewer gas to escape into your home. Replacing the wax ring can fix the issue and stop the odor.
- Broken or Cracked Sewer Line: A more serious issue, a cracked sewer line can allow sewer gas to seep into your home. In this case, the pipe will need to be located, repaired, or replaced.
