What Is Sewer Gas?
Sewer gas is usually hydrogen sulfide, a chemical created with a lack of oxygen in the sewer system. St. Louis and surrounding areas’ water treatment services usually take care of the problem before it starts, but heavy rains and sludge at the bottom of sewer pipes can sometimes lead to its creation.
In your household, it usually arises from one of three reasons:
- A trap in your plumbing system has become dry or damaged.
- A drain line has cracked or otherwise become damaged.
- A vent is damaged or stopped up.
Trained technicians can usually spot these issues and find the best means of repairing it. Contact us today and let us know how we can help!

We’ll Solve the Problem in the Long Term
Fixing sewer gas issues is more than just ensuring all the traps in the home are wet and sealed. If there’s damage to the pipes at the bottom of it, it needs to be fixed quickly. If it’s a sealed vent, it needs to be unsealed before the lack of air flow damages other components. And that comes on top of the smell of sewer gas itself, which needs to stay gone once you get rid of it. Our team knows how important it is to correct the problem so that it doesn’t recur, which is why we go through such care and attention with every detail. It’s helped us earn an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and we demonstrate why with every job we take!
