Why Do Pipes Smell Bad?

A foul odour coming up through your pipes can have a number of causes;

Low Water Levels and Dry Traps: Every plumbing fixture in your home has something called a trap attached to it that holds water in a curved section of pipe. If that water level dips too low and exposes the open pipe, gas from the sewer will come back up. It’s important to make sure you’re running water down every drain at least once every 3 weeks to prevent this.
Blocked Vents: The gases from your sewer line usually vent through pipes that rise up through the roof. If those vents get blocked due to damage or even animals, the gas may back up into your home.
Damaged Sewer Line: If something has happened down the line to clog or damage the sewer line, you’ll likely notice the smell coming from more than one drain.
Leaky Pipes or Seals: A damaged or broken pipe in your toilet, or a damaged wax seal that surrounds the base may cause leaking waste water which can cause that bad smell

Why DIY Inspection of Your Sewer Can Be Dangerous

‘Though it may not seem like it at first, inspecting and repairing a damaged sewer drain can be dangerous. Work like this should always be done while wearing a respirator as sewer gases like hydrogen sulphide are toxic and can burn your eyes and lungs. Also, due to the methane gas, they’re flammable and potentially explosive. A single spark in a high concentration of methane can be deadly. Proper ventilation and breathing equipment are crucial. The best and safest option is to leave this job to a trained and well-equipped professional.

Calling a Plumber Saves Your Time and Money

A skilled and trained plumber will be able to assess your situation quickly and determine the best and most efficient course of action. While the DIY approach may be good for some tasks, playing with the safety of your home and family is just not worth it when the situation could be more serious than you at first realize. Calling in a member of our team to do a thorough and safe inspection will ensure the problem doesn’t get worse.

Plumbing Testimonials:

Vladimir, Richmond Hill

Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.

Frank, Beaches

I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.

Helene, North York

My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.

Anna, Richmond Hill

Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!
