Sewer gas that is present in a home can be quite dangerous. It can create toxic air, and because sewer gas has a methane component to it, it can be highly explosive.

How Do I Take Care of the Problem?

First, pick up the phone and call a licensed plumber in your area that is highly experienced in sewer line repair. The plumber you call should not only be knowledgeable in public and private septic systems, but he or she should also be skilled in using the latest technology to detect sewer gas leaks. An experienced plumber should know how to use a smoke generation machine that attaches to the plumbing drain system. When this machine goes to work, smoke moves through the plumbing system and will push through any areas that have damage. Using this machine, it is possible for a qualified plumber to find the source of a sewer leak in as little as an hour.
