Not a single owner wants to suddenly smell of sewage in his bathroom and even more so in his house (or apartment). This smell is not pleasant and it is as far away from Chanel No. 5 as we walk to the Moon. When a similar "aroma" appears in a home, neither an air freshener nor a cooker hood can save from it. In such a situation, one has to look for fundamentally new solutions to the issue.
If the smell of sewage appears in the apartment, then this is a very alarming sign, which may indicate one of the many problems, or be the result of a whole cause of domestic "ailments". Before trying to take any measures, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive survey of the living quarters. In order for it to be successful, you need to know the most common causes of sewer odor leaks into a living space.
In general, there are four most significant problems that cause the formation of an unpleasant odor. These include leakage of sewer pipes (both large-scale and small smudges), debris sewer pipes, improper installation of the hydraulic seal, as well as poor ventilation of the bathroom and housing generally.
Immediately note that, having identified the source for one of the reasons listed, it is still highly recommended to check all other options. It is worth starting by checking the incorrect installation of the hydraulic seal. This happens only at the stage of repair (construction) of the house. If this is the reason, then this is already more than a sufficient reason to carry out a major overhaul of the sewer system. Otherwise, unfortunately, the issue cannot be resolved. Recall that a water seal is a curved tube under a plumbing item (bathroom, toilet, sink, etc.).
Note: if we are talking about a private house, and not about an apartment, then it is also worth checking the slope of the pipes in the trench without fail. The fact is that if there is no slope, waste water stagnates in the pipe and begins to spread a stench.

Fortunately, leaks or blockages are the most common causes of bad odor in a home. These problems need to be addressed accordingly. You can do this both yourself and by calling a plumber. If the blockage was serious, then it will not be superfluous to carry out a complete replacement of the sewer riser. Fortunately, plastic pipes are very affordable today.
