A Palm Harbor homeowner called us in regards to a possible sewage leak. They were having problems with a bad smell in their front yard as well as in the front of their Palm Harbor home. Sewage normally contains pathogens that are harmful to Tampa Bay area residents. With a sewage smell or sewer odor it is important to investigate the cause of the sewage odor in order to correct it properly. We utilize sewer smoke testing techniques as well as infrared camera inspection equipment to check sewer pipes for leaks. Leaking plumbing pipes can cause damage to your Palm Harbor or Tampa Bay area home in addition to causing possible side effects such as pathogens or mold growth. As you can see in the picture below, we located a leak in the sewage pipe in the front yard of this home. The leak was repaired by a local plumbing company and the homeowner now has no issues with sewer gas or sewer odor. We ran our infrared pipeline inspection equipment through the toilet drain in order to locate the sewage leak.
