Detecting sewer odor in your home involves a systematic approach to identify the source of the smell. Here are some common indicators:
- Persistent foul smell in specific areas of your home.

- Unusual smells emanating from drains or plumbing fixtures.
If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to consider professional sewer odor detection services.
Causes of Sewer Gas Smell
Sewer gas smells can arise from various sources, including:
- Dry P-Traps: When the water in the P-trap evaporates, it allows sewer gases to enter your home.
- Broken Seals: Damaged seals around toilets or drains can lead to leaks and odors.
- Vent Pipe Blockages: Blocked vent pipes can cause sewer gases to back up into your home.
- Cracked Pipes: Cracks in sewer lines or plumbing pipes can release gases into your living space.

“I had a great conversation with Becca at the Firestone, CO location about a suspected leak in my house. She was straight forward about what a trip charge would be, and offered to help me figure out if I even needed someone to come out. She explained what I might be hearing and we discussed various things it may be, until I felt confident that it was most likely confined inside the pipes but to call if I see evidence of wet drywall later. She also explained exactly how they would find a leak with minimal wall damage if I needed it later. I will definitely refer this company to all of my friends and family! They are lucky to have such a great employee as Becca!”- Karen M

American Leak Detection has several times identified the buried pool piping leak location to just a two-foot square so we were able to have an economical repair. We will never use search and destroy methods to locate swimming pool leaks again.”- Ervin Q.

“We came home to find our basement flooded without a visible cause. Our insurance company had an engineer from American Leak Detection investigate the cause of the water damage in our home in Boulder and he electronically located a leak on our sprinkler line. What a relief to solve the mystery.”- Barb A.
