Recognize the Source
Note where the smell is strongest and whether it changes after flushing, running water, rain, or HVAC operation. A local provider may inspect traps, toilets, floor drains, cleanouts, accessible piping, and venting. If the smell may be natural gas, leave the area and contact the appropriate gas utility or emergency resource.
What May Be Checked
A dry trap can be straightforward, while concealed piping or an intermittent vent problem may require more investigation. Smoke testing, camera inspection, or access to hidden areas may be considered when a visual check does not explain the odor. Each method has limits, so ask what was confirmed and what remains uncertain.
