​Smelling something foul indoors? It could be more than just a bad odor – it might be sewer gas! As a home inspector, I often investigate the potential presence of sewer gases, which can indicate issues with your plumbing's vent system, drain traps, or even a dry P-trap. These gases aren't just unpleasant; they can also pose health risks. Don't ignore persistent strange smells! Schedule a professional home inspection to get to the bottom of it.
