Common causes of smells and slow drainage

  • Grease/soap build-up: holds debris and releases odours.
  • Partial blockages: water drains slowly and traps waste in the line.
  • Dry traps: unused sinks/showers can lose the water seal and smell.
  • Ventilation issues: poor air admittance or venting can cause gurgling and smells.

How we sort it

  • Identify the source: which fixture smells, when it happens, and whether it affects more than one point.
  • Clear restrictions: targeted clearance/jetting to remove the build-up causing the odour.
  • Confirm flow: flush-test so the line runs cleanly again.
  • If needed: CCTV to check for defects, dips, or root ingress.

Why experience matters

Smell problems are often misdiagnosed. With 35+ years on drainage, we know when it’s a simple trap issue
versus an underlying drain restriction or fault that needs proper attention.

Quick checks you can try

  • Run water in rarely used fixtures to restore the trap seal.
  • Check sink overflows and traps for build-up.
  • If multiple fixtures are slow or gurgling, book a professional clearance.
