Smelly drains and sewer smells traced in Newcastle
A sewer smell means sewer air is getting past something meant to stop it. Air fresheners hide it for an afternoon. We find the gap, whether it is a dry trap, a vent, a cracked pipe or a blockage, and close it.

The short answer
Most drain smells come from a trap that has lost its water seal, a blocked or missing vent, a cracked pipe or loose joint, or waste sitting in a slow drain. Run water in every fixture first; a dry trap refills and the smell goes. If it persists, a plumber tests the traps, vents and pipes. If the smell could be gas, leave the building and call 000.
