If you are reading this right now then we have some great information for you, did you know there could be a leak from your sewer line or drain line that could be located in your walls. In this post, we are sharing a customers story and they had a real foul smell all throughout the house, and moisture at the baseboards in her downstairs bathroom, she said it was sewer odors. They had two plumbers come out before Daniel Plumbing And Maintenance did and they could not locate where the problem was coming from. When we arrived we did notice the moisture in the downstairs bathroom behind the toilet, the baseboards, and the floor what’s wet. So with process of elimination we followed the water and discovered that it was not coming from the toilet downstairs where all the water seem to be gathering, most plumbers would think that’s the obvious place since that’s what they see on the floor and once they find out that’s not the problem they usually don’t have a clue of what to do next.
We went upstairs and check the bathroom directly above and everything was okay as well, so we ended up taking out some of the walls in the downstairs bathroom. To expose the pipe that was coming from upstairs in the wall as you see in the photos, the bigger pipe was totally disconnected/broken. So we cut out all of the damaged pipes and just replaced it with new pipe to make sure and guarantee that the leak and the brake what’s completely repaired to ensure the customer that the foul smell throughout the home would be properly sealed of sewer odors. Looks like the last plumber at this location opened up this wall but the only fix they performed was adding more glue to where they thought the water was coming from. It is very important to know and to have on call a plumber you can trust, and not only that, do it right the first time. So this is basically a post of a before and after picture of a broken pipe in one of our customers home that caused a terrible smell throughout there home that wreaked of sewer odors. So don’t take a chance if you live in the Antelope Valley area, make sure things are done right and professional when it comes to your home or property.
