Sewer Odor Detection Services

Sewer odor is not something any of us want to live with. Not only is it a foul smell, but it is a strong symptom that something in your drains simply is not right.

If you are beginning to experience the smell of rotten eggs (sulfur) or excrement, it may be a sign that there is an issue with the pipes leading to or from the main sewer line. Such damage can be caused naturally by tree roots or land shifts or can be caused by local digging and building.

Regardless of the reason for the smell, it needs professional evaluation immediately. If the problem is a sewer main issue, waste can back up into your drains and into your home.

Your sewer odor detection cost can vary, depending on:

Accessibility of sewer cleanout:

A sewer cleanout is the access point for plumbers to get into your home’s sewer line. If your sewer cleanout is on ground-level, it will be less expensive than if your sewer cleanout is located on the roof.

Equipment needed:

Our plumbers will attempt to unclog your drain using a drain cable machine first. If the clog cannot be cleared using the drain cable machine, we may recommend hydro jetting, which will likely raise the total cost of the project.

Plumbing:

You’ll pay more for better-quality plumbers. With any plumbing work, you want a plumber who’s licensed and experienced, offers strong warranties and has a good reputation.

Understanding Sewer Odor Detection

We use a handheld electronic device to detect sewer gases. The bulb senses different types of gases in the air and picks up sewer gas from the shower, bathtub, kitchen, laundry, and main sewer drains in homes and businesses.

Sewer gas odors cause discomfort. They're also a symptom of a problem with the plumbing system. Our no-dig, minimally invasive sewer odor detection determines which gases are present and where the concentration is highest.

The Detection Process

When our technicians arrive at your home or business, we set up the detector to check for hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and methane. We also blow air and a special 'smoke' into drains and track the movement of the gases.

If the levels of hydrogen sulfide, methane, or carbon monoxide exceed the recommended safe levels, this indicates a leak, pipe deterioration, or obstruction in the sewer pipe or ventilation system.

Nobody wants to experience sewer odors in their home or business. Pipe Surgeons' sewer odor detection services get to the root of the problem and fix it. Contact us today to schedule a service visit.
