Blocked Vent Stack
The vent pipe on your roof has blocked. Common in autumn after leaf fall.

- Permanent solution
Grease Build-Up
Old grease coating the inside of the waste pipe, decomposing over time.
- CCTV inspection first
- High-pressure jetting
- Show you the before/after
Cracked Pipe / Failed Seal
Sewer gas escaping through a damaged pipe under the floor or behind a wall.
- Smoke or pressure testing
- Locate the exact crack

What Newport Pagnell Homeowners Say After A Smell Fix
Eleanor T. — Newport Pagnell
A horrible drain smell in the utility room for months. Three plumbers tried different things, none worked. Drainage Newport Pagnell found a cracked vent pipe in the wall, fixed it, smell gone in a day.
Raj M. — Newport Pagnell
Kitchen smelled like a sewer every morning. Turned out to be a dried trap under an unused dishwasher connection. Fixed in twenty minutes for the cost of a call-out.
Caitlin O. — Newport Pagnell
Smell coming and going from the sink for ages. They CCTV'd the line, found a grease coat further down, jetted it clear. Genuine fix, not a fragrance cover-up.
Bernard W. — Newport Pagnell
Knew something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint where the smell came from. Engineer was patient, methodical and actually solved it. Worth every penny.

Drain Odour FAQs
How much does a drain odour diagnosis cost?
Can't I just pour bleach down the drain?
Bleach masks bacteria smells temporarily but doesn’t fix dried traps, blocked vents or cracked pipes — which are the real causes.
Why does my drain only smell at certain times?
Usually wind direction (vent stack issues), warm weather (gas expansion), or after periods of low use (dried traps). The pattern tells us a lot.
How long does a smell fix take?
Most fixes are completed in one visit, same day. CCTV-confirmed pipe damage may need a return visit for the repair.
Can a smelly drain be a health risk?
Yes — sewer gas (hydrogen sulphide and methane) is harmful in concentration. It’s worth getting any persistent drain smell properly diagnosed.
Will the smell come back after you fix it?
Do you cover all of Newport Pagnell?
Yes — every Newport Pagnell postcode and surrounding areas.
