Say Goodbye to Sewer Odors in Your Tampa Bay Home or Business
If you’re constantly battling a foul smell in your home or office that smells like rotten eggs or moldy mop water, it could be more than just a dirty drain. In Pinellas County neighborhoods like Clearwater and Dunedin—or Hillsborough County areas like Carrollwood and Westchase—sewer odors are a common sign that something is wrong under the surface.
At I Find Leaks, we specialize in pinpointing the exact source of sewer gas intrusions using high-tech tools, proven techniques, and years of experience tracking down leaks across the Tampa Bay area. From slab foundations to vent stacks, we know how to find what others miss—fast.
How We Locate Sewer Odor Leaks in Tampa Bay
Our detection process starts with a thorough evaluation of your plumbing system. Whether you’re in a downtown Tampa office or a beach house in Indian Rocks, our team inspects for access points and uses Hurco odor detection equipment to perform smoke testing—one of the most accurate methods in the industry.
By injecting non-toxic smoke into your sewer system, we can track exactly where odors are escaping—whether it’s a cracked fitting under your slab in Pinellas Park or a broken vent line in South Tampa. For even tougher cases, we use odor-reactive detection liquids to uncover leaks hidden in walls or ceilings that smoke can’t reach.
We serve:
Homes and businesses in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Palm Harbor
Offices and rentals in Tampa, Brandon, Valrico
Professional Sewer Odor Detection Services You Can Trust
Sewer odors don’t just stink—they signal something is broken. And if left unchecked, these leaks can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and even health risks from prolonged exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas.
Our team has located sewer odor leaks:
Under slab foundations in Oldsmar
Behind tile walls in New Tampa
Inside cast iron pipes in older Gulfport homes
In large commercial buildings throughout Downtown Tampa
We’ve worked in everything from high-rises to hoarder homes, using a combination of Hurco smoke machines, video inspection, and decades of hands-on experience. Don’t guess—let us locate the leak with precision.
The Role of Rodents in Sewer Issues Across Tampa Bay
If you’re hearing scratching in your walls or attic, it might not just be a pest problem—it could be a sewer breach. Rodents often follow sewer gas trails into your home through the same gaps that let odors escape.
We’ve seen it all:
Rats entering through cracked sewer laterals in Largo
Mice exploiting failed wax seals under toilets in Apollo Beach
Rodents climbing into wall cavities through broken vents in Safety Harbor and South Tampa
That’s why pest control companies across the Bay Area subcontract I Find Leaks to locate rodent entry points that go beyond surface-level inspections.
Smoke Testing: The Gold Standard for Sewer Odor Detection
Smoke testing is the fastest, cleanest, and most accurate way to uncover hidden sewer gas leaks. It’s ideal for older homes in Seminole and Hyde Park, where plumbing systems may have degraded over time.
Here’s how it works:
We safely introduce a dense, non-toxic smoke into your drain system
Any place where smoke escapes is a place sewer gas can enter your home
We photograph and document the exact location of the breach
We’ve used this process to uncover leaks inside luxury homes in Westchase and tight crawl spaces in St. Pete, saving our clients from unnecessary demolition or costly trial-and-error methods.
