Odour Detection

Apart from the essential human capacity for identifying odours, all-brite also possesses the best contemporary odour detection methods to apply to a house or commercial building.

Sewage Smell

If you smell raw sewage in your home, you may have a dried out P-trap. The P-trap is the little curved section of piping that helps create a seal from the sewer gas that lurks behind it. The only problem is that the curved “P” section needs to be filled with water in order to create the necessary blockage.

If you haven’t used one or more of your sinks in a while water that normally creates a seal in the “P” section has evaporated and dried out.

In order to prevent sewer gases from rising up through your pipes and into your home, it’s important to run water in all of your drains periodically. If you have a sink  in your garage or another part of the home that rarely gets use, make sure you run the water in those sinks at least once a month to refresh the water in the P-trap.

If running water in your sinks doesn’t solve the problems, you may have a more serious problem. 

Smells are hard to detect using a fit-for-purpose sewer smoke testing machine.

Unpleasant smells in and around your home or property can be easy to see and idenfiy 

 also be a sign of a more serious underlying issue that will only get worse if left untreated. A simple smoke test will help.
