Odor Detection and Smoke Testing

CT Odor Detection and Smoke Testing Company

American Rooter uses smoke testing equipment and camera inspection tools to detect the causes of sewage smells inside a home or building.

Sewer smells in a house or building can be embarrassing, annoying, unhealthy, and in some cases dangerous. Since sewer smells can smell like gas or propane, you should always call the fire department first. Fire departments are equipped with gas sniffers to detect dangerous levels of explosive natural gas, propane and lethal methane.

Nausea, headaches, and dizziness are common with long exposures to sewer gases. A high level of methane, a common odorless gas in accompanied sewers, is lethal and causes many deaths each year so don't delay if you smell sewage gas.

Detecting the sources of sulfur, smelly sewage gas is often a tricky task. In most cases the sulfur like smell comes and goes intermittently. Many times the smell disappears before a Service Company or professionals like American Rooter arrive. It is often impossible to witness or recreate the smell.

To find the source, American Rooter has to close off the drain system and pressure test it with smoke testing tools. When the smoke appears in an area of the building, it's usually close to the sewer smell source.

A sewer smell is often reported strongest in certain area of a house or building like a cellar, closet, ceiling or room. Since it only smells once in a while, many customers ignore these gas smells for years before they call a professional to diagnose it.

Don't wait to call American Rooter, The Drain ExpertsTM to fix the sewer smell inside or outside a house or building, even if other plumbers or contractors have failed to find the problem. Countless times, American Rooter has determined the gas smell issue where other plumbers have not.

If there is a sewer smell that is coming from a drain, American Rooter will always find it. By testing the drain system we have found these drain issues that can cause a sewer smell.
