Odour Diagnosis Is About Method, Not Guesswork

Most drainage smells come from one of four causes: dried-out traps, blocked vent stacks, grease coating in waste pipes, or fractured pipes leaking sewer gas through walls/floors. Each looks similar from the outside — but each needs a different repair.

We use methodical diagnosis: CCTV the lines, smoke test the system, pressure test if needed. The investigation finds the actual source — not just somewhere that smells. Then we quote a permanent repair.

Common Odour Sources We Find

Dried Traps

Sink, washer or floor trap dried out — sewer gas escapes back up.

Blocked Vent Stacks

Roof vent blocked — drains can't breathe, gas escapes inside.

Grease In Pipes

Old grease coating waste pipes, decomposing.

Cracked / Failed Pipes

Sewer gas escaping through damaged pipework.

Drain Odour Investigation FAQs

How much does odour investigation cost in Milton Keynes?

Initial diagnosis included — we’ll inspect the issue first, explain the problem clearly, and confirm a good price before any repair work begins.

Pattern matters: cold weather = trap evaporation, wind direction = vent issues, after low-use periods = dried traps.
Yes — sewer gas (hydrogen sulphide, methane) is harmful in concentration. Persistent drain smells should be properly diagnosed.
We pump non-toxic smoke through the drainage system. The smoke escapes wherever there’s a leak — making invisible cracks visible.
Most diagnoses completed in one visit, 1–2 hours on site. Complex cases may need return visits.

We test the drain after the work is complete and explain what has been done before leaving.
