Sewer Odor Detection

Leak Detection Services for Commercial & Municipal Properties

Sewage gas, while unpleasant to smell, can also be dangerous. Because the gas contains methane, there is risk of explosion hazards. If you detect a sulfur smell you can’t locate, turn to American Leak Detection. Our skilled leak detection specialists have the tools and resources necessary to locate sewer odors. We work quickly and efficiently.

With our sewer camera inspection technology, we can locate the source of the odor. This non-invasive method provides accuracy and reliability. Our highly-trained team members will explain their findings, so you can make informed decisions about your commercial property.

    "They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet."
    “I had an awful rotten egg smell as soon as I bought our house. After calling two plumbers (who charged me a fee to tell me nothing was wrong), the Gas Company (no gas leak), and the Public Works Department, I finally called American Leak Detection. They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet. Highly recommend them!”
    - Sandi T.
    "I can't say enough good things about their service!"
    “I can't say enough good things about their service! We had a slab leak that flooded the master bedroom and they came as quickly as they could and then rearranged their work schedule so the repair could be made and we could once again have water turned on. The workmen were professional and efficient. I hope I never have to use that kind of service again but if so, they are he best.”
    - Carolyn R.
    "After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel."
    “Tree roots had cracked my filter pipes and I was losing water badly. I was referred to American Leak Detection and set up an appointment. Daniel came out and did his best to diagnose the problem. He got very strange results and it was hard to determine the exact pipe(s) that were cracked but since I'd had a similar repair done 6 years ago and we could see evidence of the tree root damage from above, I felt confident we knew were the issue was and I contracted for the work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel return to perform the work. I arranged to be home that day so I could see what he found. I supposed I hovered, taking pictures of the process, asking questions as he went along. He never got annoyed and answered every question with a smile. I don't think i ever saw anyone work harder. It was obvious from that start he had a lot of experience and knew what he was doing. Digging out the area had to be done mostly by hand which he did efficiently without complaints. He found multiple pipes cracked which explained the odd results during diagnosis. The job took longer than expected because it was difficult work and he ran out of daylight but on the job until he it wasn't possible anymore that day. Even though he was fully booked for the following day, his company rearranged his schedule so he could return the following afternoon. I returned home early from work and was able to see him complete the job. He even patched the deck with new concrete like an artisan, taking every care to make it as smooth and neat as possible. After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel. He was competent, diligent, and pleasant. The cost wasn't cheap but it was fair. I don't mind at all paying for quality service.”

Common causes for sewer odors:

  • Damaged Drain Line – The pipe between the sewer trap and drain securely carries waste out. However, if this pipe is damaged, it can cause a leak that produces the sulfuric smell.
  • A Dry Trap – When a drain line is not used often, it can dry out and break the trap seal.
  • Broken Vent – If your commercial plumbing vent does not work the way it should, sewer gas can leak out into your building, rather than above it.
