Why Choose Drain Medics

The Trusted Choice for Drain Odour Investigation in Clayton-Le-Moors

Our professional approach to drain odour investigation in Lancashire

Finding the source of a hidden smell requires precision and the right technology. Our team utilises state-of-the-art CCTV drain survey equipment to look inside your pipes without the need for unnecessary digging. By performing a high-definition visual inspection, we can identify structural defects, blockages, or points where sewer gases are escaping. In cases where the pipework is hidden behind walls or floors, we employ advanced smoke testing techniques to track exactly where the gas is leaking, ensuring we find the root cause of the problem quickly and efficiently.

What are the common causes of sewer gas in the home?

Many residents in Great Harwood are surprised to learn that simple issues often cause severe odours. Dried-out water traps in seldom-used floor drains, faulty toilet seals, or venting problems within the soil stack are common culprits. Occasionally, the issue may be more severe, such as a collapsed drain or a crack allowing vermin to enter. Because these faults can lead to health hazards or structural dampness, it is vital to have them assessed by professionals who understand how drainage systems interact with the internal environment of your building.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our expert drain odour investigation and fault diagnosis services in Accrington, Lancashire& The North West of England

What causes that rotten egg smell in my house?

+

This is usually sewer gas (hydrogen sulphide) escaping from your pipes. It can be caused by a dried-out U-bend, a cracked pipe, or a faulty vent valve. Our odour investigation can find the exact leak point within minutes using smoke or CCTV.

Is sewer gas dangerous to breathe?

+

In small amounts, it’s mostly just a nasty smell. However, long-term exposure isn't good for your health and can cause headaches or nausea. It is always best to get it checked by drainage specialists to make sure your home is safe.

Can a blocked drain in Accrington cause smells in Clayton-Le-Moors?

+

While a blockage usually affects the immediate property, major issues in the main sewer line can sometimes push smells back up through the pipes of nearby homes. If you and your neighbours are all noticing a scent, it might be a wider issue that we can help diagnose.

How much does a drain odour investigation cost?

+

The price depends on the size of the property and the tools needed, such as CCTV or smoke testing. We provide clear, upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what to expect.

Could the smell be related to rats?

+

Yes. Rats often live in the sewer system and can enter your property through broken pipes. If a rat dies in a wall cavity or under the floor, it creates a very distinct, heavy odour. We offer pest control in drains to stop this from happening.
