Sewer gas smell in house — Calpe, Valencian Community
A rotten-egg or sulfur smell inside your home usually means sewer gas is escaping through a dried-out trap, cracked drain pipe, or failing wax ring on a toilet. Sewer gas contains methane and hydrogen sulfide, which are unpleasant and potentially hazardous in high concentrations. A licensed plumber can locate the source, restore trap seals, replace damaged components, and ensure your venting system is working properly.
