What to do if you notice a sewage smell

These quick steps can help narrow down the cause and prevent the smell from worsening.

Check if any drains are dry

Dry traps can allow sewer gas to enter the home. Avoid running lots of water until assessed.

Look for slow drainage

Gurgling or slow fixtures can indicate a developing blockage or vent issue.

Do not use harsh chemicals

Chemicals can damage plumbing and make diagnosis harder.

Arrange an inspection

Persistent sewer odours should be checked to confirm the source and fix it properly.

Why bathrooms can smell like sewage

Bathroom sewer odours are often caused by trap issues, ventilation problems, or drainage restrictions. Common causes include a dry or siphoned trap, a failing seal at a toilet base, buildup in a drain, or a venting issue that allows sewer gas to enter the space.

We focus on finding the source of the smell and correcting the underlying problem, not masking it.
