Drain Odour Investigation in Standish , Wigan

Foul smells are typically caused by an escape of sewer gas. This can occur for several reasons, including dry U-bends in unused sinks or showers, damage to your internal stack pipes, or blockages that prevent air from venting correctly. In some cases, rodents may have entered the property through a broken pipe, creating both a smell and a hygiene risk. Our team investigates these possibilities thoroughly, ensuring we do not just mask the odour with temporary fixes but instead find and repair the root cause of the problem.

To pinpoint the exact source of an odour, we employ sophisticated technology that avoids unnecessary disruption to your property. We utilise high-definition CCTV drain surveys to inspect your pipes from the inside, identifying cracks, disjointed sections, or debris build-up. For more elusive leaks, we use specialist smoke testing. This involves pumping a non-toxic, safe smoke into the drainage system; if there is a breach, the smoke will escape at the site of the fault, allowing our technicians to locate the defect with pinpoint accuracy.

Drainage repairs must adhere to strict UK Building Regulations, particularly Part H, which governs the safety and hygiene of drainage systems.
