# Sewer Smell in the House in Columbia, SC

A rotten-egg or sewer odor indoors often comes from a dry drain trap, a failing toilet seal, or a vent problem. Find the source and get help from a local plumber.

- Run water in guest baths, floor drains, and unused sinks to refill dry traps.
- A smell around the base of a toilet can mean a worn wax ring.
- Gurgling drains plus odor can point to a blocked plumbing vent.
- If you smell gas rather than sewer, leave the house and call the gas company.
