I had an issue with sewer smell in my home for over 15 years. Asked several plumbers what was causing it. I had snow freezing up in just the top foot of my stink pipes where they exit the roof. Temps would get just below freezing and I would have to go on the roof and unplug them. I must have done this at least 15-20 times every winter. SO FRUSTRATED. So one day I decided to pinpoint where the actual smell was coming from as it was not coming from any of my sink trappes. There was one spot near my kitchen floor where the smell was very strong. My thought was that who ever built this wall may have accidentally put a screw in a stink pipe and it was leaking right there. I cut a hole in the wall and you would not believe what I found................There was indeed a stink pipe on the other side and it was completely OPEN!!!!! When they rebuilt the kitchen area and moved the sink that was once there and they forgot to close off the old stink pipe. So you can imagine how bad the smell was for all these years. Needless to say I plugged it off and never smelled sewer again. Never had to go on the roof again either. So my advice to anyone reading this is to try and find the cause. Make sure all your sinks have traps and make sure the traps have water in them. When you smell the sewer smell try and locate exactly where it is coming from. Also I live where winters get down to -30f

Very well done and very professional, very smart plumber!

Great video We have a septic system with 2 bathrooms. One has a strong odor that comes and goes. We replaced the wax in that toilet but we still have the on again/off again odor. Help !

Such a very cool company. Wish you guys were in New York.

Hi, great video...I have a acetone/paint thinner smell in my bathroom...it's volatile smell and it's been happening for a month now...any ideas what this could be? thanks

This is better than Netflix! Chase that smell, mate!

Did you make your own smoke machine? Or buy that unit?

Great men you really are saving people from severe health problems

Thanks

Hard to find guys like this

Yep, smoke test costs about $1200 to start here in Connecticut . So, before I do that, I'm researching what I might be able to do, if anything at all. Our condo has a very strong sewage odor coming from our laundry room area. I keep thinking it's the washer, but when I open the washer door and stick my head in, it smells like Tide! Lol After watching this video though, I agree that I've had too many ppl out to try to figure this smell out and they all say the same thing, they don't smell what we're smelling OR they can't locate it. We've tried plumbers, the city, the sewage treatment plant down the road from us stinks all the time , we've complained that it has to be their gasses somehow getting in to our unit, but they are insisting that I'm wrong and it can't be, because we have traps! I'm going to pull my washer away from the wall now I've seen this... that's gotta be it! Thanks man!

Help my house has bad smell making me sick can y'all tell me anyone in Tennessee that does smoke test would appreciate it.

Wish you were in Texas!!

I’m having this Issue in my Basement it stinks and stinks really bad when it rains and the Basement gets wet..... And the smell comes up from the Basement up into the rest of our Home..... What can I do please give me some advice ASAP

surprised your micro camera did not pick that separated pipe up

Wish we had reputable plumbers like you in our part of Virginia. We have a suspish smell and are reluctant to call our landlord as he typically sends a reject from clown college to pretend to repair issues. Thanks for the video, makes it easier to not get the run around.

What if you have a moldy, chemical smell and it's not the sewer gas? Checked the P traps, vent is working great, did a smoke test no leaks anywhere, new flange, and even with the wax ring set, the room smells funny. Not necessarily sewer gas, at least everyone's said they can't smell sewer gas. Is there an off gas from wax rings or the new tile floor?

Can you recommend anyone out in the Bay Area California?

What is the difference between putting smoke into the main clean out and the roof top vents?

$800? To $5000? What!? I’m changing my job to pipe smoker

Hello guys, what state do you work out of?

I did everything, crawled under house, smoke tests, camera, pulled toilet, opend the walls for visual inspection all not the problem. Turns out the smell was from decaying paper, between the shower pan and tile. The only tell was that the smell changed a little and was not as strong when the shower was no longer being used because the whole bath was torn apart. so someone used backer paper before tiling the shower pan. Who knew?

Not exactly what I came for but excellent learning. Much appreciated, good work brother

Too bad you are not in FL. I have same issue. Do you know a reliable plumber like you in FL? Pleas help!

Great work 👏

My home smells like poo ONLY when the heat comes on. Have had HVAC guys come out 3 times and they can't find a thing. However the smell is still there, my unit is electric with a heatpump not gas. So what is the problem

Wow. Now I know what to look for. But as a disabled 75 year old I don’t have 1200 to 5000 to fix it. That’s a lot of money in these times.

I have a smell in my hallway near my furnace that smells like mildew and poo.

I like these videos not because I need them because I like to watch them

Run that cold water to help push the camera

Where we can find you ?I have the same problem but nobody understands

No one in my area (Canada) does smoke testing. I am dying in my master bathroom. Been half year bad smell suddenly one day.

I don't know how to find my sewer smell issue yet but I do know how to get better sound for these videos. You have to upgrade your audio components when speaking away from the camera! Thanks for making them anyway!

Eight hundred to five thousand bucks!? You must be blowing smoke.

How can you smell that without gagging

Where are you guys located ? I want my home to be checked out My kitchen sink stinks

Psssst.....5:38 why is he whispering? 🤫

I guess that camera is just for show. There is no way a camera would not pick up that size separation in a pipe.

Audio problem!

$800-$5000 to blow some smoke!!!!???? Bruh naaaah

Looks like 5k fix

$800 - $5,000? Ridiculous.

No Mexican on the roof either - fyi

I don't have to worry about fractured pipes because mine are PVC.

Audio too quiet while the guy is speaking, can you normalize your audio levels?

Like I have a camera…
