WHAT IS DRAIN ODOUR INVESTIGATION?


Investigations of bad smells are frequently done as part of compliance monitoring. Drain odours in your home or business are never pleasant, frequently embarrassing, and cyclically stop and start. With the aid of our specialized smoke testing equipment, Stillorgan Drain Cleaning can identify the source of any unpleasant odour you may be experiencing in your home and believe may be caused by the sewage system or drains. Once the issue has been identified, our drain repair specialist can help you fix it.

Our team of odour investigators will conduct a customized indoor, outdoor, or environmental odour investigation of your property, identify the problem's cause, and provide a solution. Odour and air quality measurements are part of this.

SMOKE TEST FOR DRAINS AND SEWERS

Stillorgan Drain Cleaning

 

The smell of sewage in the kitchen or bathroom is frequently the result of clogged drains or broken pipes. Smoke tests are used by our experts to identify persistent odors that won't go away on their own. When doing a smoke test, non-toxic smoke is pumped into the drain system and tracked through the pipework to determine if it emerges from a source other than the drain. It is a straightforward yet efficient technique for locating leaky pipes, damaged connections, or broken seals. The sewage smell within the house may be due to these fissures, which allow sewage waste to seep into the ground.

Even a hairline crack can be found by a smoke test, and a very little piping leak cannot be found by one of these tests. All of our personnel are qualified, outfitted, and knowledgeable about how to conduct a smoke test.

THE MAIN SOURCES OF DRAIN SMELLS IN THE HOUSE

Sewer Smells


As a result of natural decomposition, sewer gases like methane and ammonia are produced in subterranean sewer systems. The sewage odour coming from your toilet or kitchen sink may be caused by these gases rising up through empty drain traps.

 

Water Leaks


Sulphates, which are used to cleanse water, are present in the water supply to your home. A rotten egg odour may result from the sulphates reacting with the sulphates in your water heater.

 

Pipe Blockages


Blockages in the drain pipes are a major reason why the drains smell in the house foul. If your toilet smells like sewage, clogged pipes may be to blame. The clogged pipes risk becoming entirely clogged if the issue is not fixed. Slow water drainage is a sign of blocked pipes.

 

Clogs in the drain and bacteria


Bacteria can be found in food, grease, hair, and other waste. These bacteria may build up in the pipes, particularly if they are obstructed. Get the shower drain checked for obstructions if you notice a scent.

 

Mould Formation


When there is a leak and water sits for a while, mould or mildew can start to grow inside the pipes. Even from behind a wall, you may be able to smell the mould's foul odour.

 

Plumbing Problems


Incorrect plumbing fittings can also contribute to sewer odour. A strong sewage odour in the bathroom might be caused by improper traps or vents fast accumulating mildew or bacteria.


The smells in your kitchen or bathroom might originate from a variety of places both within and outside the house. To do a complete survey and cleaning, you need professionals who have the necessary training.
