P-Trap Repair and Replacement in Abilene, TX
That sewer smell in your home is not normal. A damaged or dry P-trap is usually the cause, and we fix it fast.
What You Need to Know
The P-trap is the curved section of pipe under every sink, tub, and floor drain in your home. Its job is simple but critical: it holds a small amount of water that creates a seal preventing sewer gas from rising up through the drain and into your living space. When a P-trap fails, leaks, or dries out, it can expose your family to harmful sewer gases including methane and hydrogen sulfide.
P-trap problems are common in Abilene-area homes, especially in guest bathrooms, utility sinks, and floor drains that are not used regularly. When water in the trap evaporates, the seal breaks and sewer gas enters your home. Corrosion, improper installation, and physical damage can also cause P-traps to leak water onto cabinets, floors, and surrounding areas.
Total Quality Plumbing repairs and replaces P-traps for all types of fixtures. We use the correct size, material, and configuration for each application to ensure a proper seal and long-lasting performance.
