Why Do I Have a Sewer Smell in My Home?
Have you noticed an unpleasant odor drifting through your home? You didn’t burn dinner. You just cleaned the house. Still, for some reason, your home smells like the sewer. You can try to cover up the stench with scented candles, but this probably isn’t the best solution. This smell is typically caused by one of three reasons: Sewer trap plugs. Missing or loose sewer trap plugs are the most common cause of indoor sewer smell. Your sewer access pit contains a house trap. This is a U-shaped piece that traps water to serve as a barrier between the city sewer and your home. If the plug on this trap is poorly fitted or gone entirely, public sewer odor can travel into your home. Simply replace the plug, and your air should clear. Dried trap. If the water in the U-trap has dried up, it no longer acts as a barrier to the sewer odor. Run some water into the trap to recreate the barrier. This should eliminate the odor. City sewer. Is the odor coming from outside? A sewer smell outdoors can indicate the city sewer is experiencing major plumbing problems, not your home. However, if the smell persists, it may be due to the drains from your house. Contact a plumber to check your drainage system for proper functioning. When home or property owners are experiencing heavy drain clogs in UK, they call the experts at MR Drains, as they are experts in all aspects of drainage from blocked drains, to CCTV camera surveys, to all aspects of drain repairs.

Can I increase the height of the sewer vent pipe which is below the ridge line of the house to reduce the occasional smell of sewer gas outside when the wind blows just right?
Of course, the codes do require a minimum of height and diameter (normally 4" to prevent hoarfrost) and depending if the roof is used for weather protection I have installed vent piping 7 feet above the roof to prevent sewer fumes from entering the structure and 7 feet is the min required for promenade roofing systems.
