Sewer gas is a mixture of gases that forms in your plumbing system when organic waste breaks down. It includes methane, hydrogen sulfide, and other compounds that can create foul odors in your home and, in high concentrations, pose health risks. Understanding where sewer gas comes from and how it enters your living spaces helps you identify problems before they become serious.
