Unpleasant smells from your plumbing system can indicate various issues, from simple maintenance needs to serious sewer problems.

  • Rotten egg smell: Often indicates hydrogen sulfide gas from bacterial growth
  • Sewage odor: May suggest a broken seal or sewer line issue
  • Musty smell: Could indicate mold growth in damp areas
