Fort Collins Plumber Tip #1: If it smells bad, it is bad
Filed under: Drain Repairs, Plumbing Repair, Sewer Repairs, Unclog drain, Unclog sewer
That disgusting smell you’ve begun to notice throughout your Fort Collins area home may be worse than you think. The odor could be the result of a clog or a leak in your sewer vent pipe. This pipe is located on your roof. Through it, the sewer system sucks fresh air in from outside to keep water moving through the pipes. If the vent pipe in your Fort Collins area home is clogged or leaking, it will take the air it needs from drains throughout your home, drying them out and allowing sewer gas in. The clog or leak could even cause your heating or air conditioning system to broadcast the odor throughout your home via the duct system.
Sewer gas is toxic, so more than being offensive, it could be genuinely sickening. If you try to find the source by opening your sewer and drain system yourself, you could create a worse problem by releasing sewage into your home. Instead, let Allen Service Plumbing locate the source of the sewer gas odor, quickly and cleanly, using our special equipment designed for the purpose.
