So they pour chemicals down the sink and hope for the best. But here’s the truth: 9 times out of 10, it’s not the drain — it’s the air. In this video, Roger Wakefield breaks down exactly why your home smells like sewer gas using a simple straw experiment that makes plumbing finally make sense. You’ll learn: ✔️ What a plumbing trap actually does ✔️ Why dry P-traps are the #1 cause of sewer smells ✔️ How flushing a toilet can create negative pressure ✔️ Why your sink or tub gurgles ✔️ What plumbing vents do (and how they get blocked) ✔️ When sewer gas becomes dangerous Sewer gas isn’t just embarrassing — it contains methane and can displace oxygen in high concentrations. Understanding how your plumbing system works can protect your home, your health, and your wallet. If you have: A bathroom you rarely use A shower that smells A gurgling toilet A mystery odor that comes and goes This video could save you a service call.
