Sewer smells coming from a crawl space are never something to ignore. That odor means sewer gases are escaping somewhere they shouldn't be - and over time, that leads to bigger problems. Health concerns, structural moisture issues, and worsening pipe damage are all on the table if it goes unchecked.
On this job, we got into the crawl space and found damaged sewer piping that needed to come out. The old pipe couldn't do its job anymore - it was allowing leaks and letting sewer gases work their way up into the living space above. Not a situation anyone wants to deal with.
We replaced the damaged sections with new ABS pipe. ABS is a solid choice for this kind of work - it's durable, resistant to the kind of moisture and soil conditions you typically find in a crawl space, and it creates a tight, reliable system when properly fitted and connected. The new pipe runs cleanly through the space with properly secured joints, which is exactly what you want to see in a tight, hard-to-access area like this.
The result is a drainage system that works the way it's supposed to - no leaks, no gas escaping into the home, and no more mystery odors drifting up through the floors. These kinds of repairs fall squarely in our sewer and drain installation and repair work, and it's some of the most important plumbing we do because the consequences of letting it go are so significant.
If you're picking up sewer smells anywhere in your home, noticing slow drains, or dealing with recurring leaks under the house, that's worth looking into sooner rather than later. Problems like this don't fix themselves.
