Plumbing Tip #18: Getting rid of odors in the plumbing system

Odors are not commonly found in well installed and maintained plumbing systems. Odors could spring up due to leaks in the piping or from traps that have lost their water seals. One must not ignore unusual odors as these are often an indication of the presence of sewer gas. Though not deadly, these gases are noxious and can give you a headache. The normal method of testing for sewer gas is by using smoke, water or peppermint oil. These will help locate the leak. However, this should be left to a professional plumber who will then advise you on the necessary course of action.
