Bad Smells Coming From Drains

Persistent bad smells from drains are more than just unpleasant — they can indicate a serious problem with your drainage system. From broken seals to collapsed pipes, understanding the cause is the first step to fixing it.

What to Look For

• Sewage smell from kitchen or bathroom drains
• Rotten egg smell from outside drains
• Smells that worsen in warm weather
• Odours from multiple drains at once
• Smells that persist after cleaning traps and U-bends
• Gurgling sounds accompanying the smell

How We Diagnose the Problem

We start with a visual inspection of traps, gullies and access points, then use CCTV camera surveys to check for broken pipes, blockages, collapsed sections, or disconnected joints that could be allowing sewer gases to escape.

How We Fix It

Solutions range from simple trap repairs and seal replacements to drain relining or pipe replacement for more serious damage. We also check for blocked vents that can cause pressure imbalances and odour problems.
