Drain Odour Investigation in Walkden , Salford

Drain odours are rarely just a superficial issue. Often, a dried-out U-bend or an air admittance valve that has failed can allow dangerous sewer gases to permeate your living space. In some cases, cracks in underground drainage pipes or issues with your soil stack pipe allow methane and other gases to escape into the building. Our team at Drain Medics uses advanced diagnostic tools to distinguish between a simple plumbing fix and a major drainage defect, ensuring the root cause of the odour is permanently neutralised.

To pinpoint the exact source of an odour, we employ a variety of professional techniques suited to your property. Our primary method involves high-definition CCTV drain surveys, which allow us to visually inspect the interior of your pipes for cracks, joints that have separated, or blockages caused by fat, oil, and grease. Where visual inspection is not enough, we utilise specialised smoke testing. This involves pumping non-toxic smoke through the drainage system to reveal hidden leaks or breaches in your pipework that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

All of our investigation and repair works are conducted in strict accordance with UK Building Regulations Part H. We ensure that your drainage system is properly vented and sealed to prevent the ingress of harmful gases.
