how to get rid of sewage smell in your bathroom

by Pamtec Enviro Systems Road Sweeping Machines

A smelly bathroom can be caused by a number of things. Here are some tips on how you can get rid of that nasty sewage smell in your bathroom to make it more pleasant.

Check the traps under your sinks.

The trap under your sink is a U-shaped pipe that holds water to prevent sewer gas from entering your home. If this trap is clogged, it can cause sewage smells to emanate from the bathroom drain. You can clean out this trap with a snake or plunger.

Clean the vent pipe.

To clean the vent pipe, first use a brush made for cleaning drain pipes to remove any deposits. You should do this every three months or so, depending on the amount of use your bathroom gets. Next, use a sponge or cloth dipped in hot water and baking soda to scrub away stains and mildew buildup at the bottom of your drain. Then rinse everything with vinegar to remove grease and soap residue that may have been left behind by cleaning products other than vinegar; spray some more vinegar down there too just for good measure!

Don’t pour grease down the drain.

Grease is a major cause of plumbing problems. Grease clogs pipes and can cause sewage backups in your home. Don’t pour grease down the drain! Use a strainer to catch grease before it goes down the drain (you can use a coffee filter).

Take care of slow drains.

  • If you have a plunger, try using it to clear the clog.

  • If you have a chemical drain cleaner, follow the directions on the bottle and pour some down your drain.

  • If boiling water seems like an option, boil some water in a pot and pour it down your drain. Don't use cold water or ice cubes; they can cause further damage to your pipes and create more problems than they solve!

If none of these methods work, call a plumber immediately—you may need professional help with this problem!

Vent your plumbing properly.

  • Make sure your plumbing is not clogged. If you have a clog in the pipe, it could be causing the smell to get into your bathroom.

  • Make sure the pipe is not too close to the ground. Sewage can leak out of pipes if they are too low or too close to the ground, and this will cause an unpleasant smell in your bathroom.

  • Make sure there is no water pooling near the pipe. If there is any water pooling near a sewer line, then it may be causing sewage odor in your bathroom because this means that wastewater has nowhere else to go but back into your house through its drain pipes!

No one wants to deal with sewage smell in their home, so make sure you do all you can to avoid it!

No one wants to deal with sewage smell in their home. Sewage smell can be caused by a number of different things, and while it may seem harmless at first, it can actually be dangerous.

If you notice that your bathroom smells like sewage or if you've noticed other signs of a problem (such as wet spots on the floor), call a plumber. They'll know what's wrong and how to fix it!

Conclusion

There are a few ways you can reduce the risk of sewage smell in your home. The first step is checking your plumbing for blockages and clearing them if necessary. Next, make sure that any wax build-up from candles or soap scum around the sink area is removed regularly so it doesn’t cause problems with drains. Finally, keep track of any odors coming from drains so they don’t get worse over time—this way when you need help fixing problems like this one there will be no surprises!
