Drain Odour Investigation in Haydock , St. Helens

Odours in a building can originate from several sources. A common culprit is a dry trap, where water has evaporated from a P-trap, allowing sewer gases to travel back up through the drain. Alternatively, a crack in a stack pipe or a failure in the sanitary pipework can release unpleasant gases behind your walls or under floorboards. In some cases, rodents may have entered the drainage system, leaving behind waste that causes distinct and persistent foul odours. Our technicians understand how to identify these elusive faults quickly using professional diagnostics.

Our process begins with a thorough non-invasive assessment of your drainage system. We often utilise high-tech CCTV drain surveys to inspect the integrity of your pipework, identifying cracks, leaks, or blockages that might be hidden from view. For more complex scenarios, we employ smoke testing, a highly effective method that fills your drainage system with a safe, white smoke to reveal exactly where gas is escaping. This allows us to pinpoint the source of the smell without needing to cause unnecessary disruption to your property.
