If bad-smelling plumbing is a problem at your Charlotte-area property, a call to E.R. Services is definitely in order. Our crew has in-depth experience dealing with these types of unpleasant plumbing issues, and we often find they can be attributed to one or more of the following causes.
Food Waste
Your property's drains and sewer lines are on the receiving end of all types of discarded items, and the list includes grease and food scraps. Over time, food waste that finds its way into a drain will start to break down. The decomposition process releases organic gasses that can impact your indoor air quality. Scraping dishes into the trash prior to washing and using mesh baskets in kitchen drains can help to remedy this problem.
Biological Growth
Bacteria, mold, and other microbes find the conditions inside sewers and drains to be extremely hospitable. These life forms release foul-smelling gasses as they grow and flourish, and these bad odors can travel out of drains and into your property's living and working spaces. Our professional sewer and drain cleaning services are designed to deal with this problem by breaking up and washing away these organisms.
Sewer Gas
Residential and commercial plumbing systems include drain traps beneath sinks, tubs, and other critical appliances. These traps contain water that prevents sewer gas from backing up into the structure. If the water in a trap dries out or a trap malfunctions in some other way, odoriferous sewer gasses can flow back up through the sewer collection system.
