Odour Diagnosis Is About Method, Not Guesswork

Most drainage smells come from one of four causes: dried-out traps, blocked vent stacks, grease coating in waste pipes, or fractured pipes leaking sewer gas through walls/floors. Each looks similar from the outside — but each needs a different repair.

We use methodical diagnosis: CCTV the lines, smoke test the system, pressure test if needed. The investigation finds the actual source — not just somewhere that smells. Then we quote a permanent repair.

Drain Odour Investigation FAQs

How much does odour investigation cost in Arundel?

Initial diagnosis included — we’ll inspect the issue first, explain the problem clearly, and confirm a good price before any repair work begins.

Why does my drain only smell at certain times?

Pattern matters: cold weather = trap evaporation, wind direction = vent issues, after low-use periods = dried traps.

Can a drain smell make me ill?

Yes — sewer gas (hydrogen sulphide, methane) is harmful in concentration. Persistent drain smells should be properly diagnosed.

What’s smoke testing?

We pump non-toxic smoke through the drainage system. The smoke escapes wherever there’s a leak — making invisible cracks visible.

How long does a typical investigation take?

Most diagnoses completed in one visit, 1–2 hours on site. Complex cases may need return visits.

How do I know the repair is done properly?

We test the drain after the work is complete and explain what has been done before leaving.
