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

Why Do Pipes Smell Bad?
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
