How to eliminate the smell of a septic tank

Causes of odors

1. The smell from the septic tank most often appears in homemade models. In this case, the ventilation of the device was not thought out, and an unpleasant stench may appear even in the house.This is typical for home-made models from eurocubes and concrete rings. If the septic tank is not properly ventilated, toxic and fetid gases will escape through the sewer pipe back into the room. In the absence of water seals, the stench will come from the sink, shower and toilet. The atmosphere in the house quickly becomes uncomfortable;
2. If there is an autonomous sewage system with deep biological treatment, the smell indicates a breakdown in the system. In this case, you need to contact the supplier of the well. Let the professionals figure out where the weak link is. Also, volatile septic tanks need periodic maintenance. The stench from the well may indicate that it is necessary to clean the septic tank and replace consumables;
3. But the ventilation of the septic tank can work properly. The stench appears when chlorine preparations are actively used in the house. These substances in the minimum amount do not cause significant damage to the bacteria in the sump. But if there was a massive discharge of the drug, then a dose of chlorine will kill microorganisms and disrupt the biosystem. In this case, special bioactivators will help to quickly restore the microflora;
4. Surfactants can interfere with the proper functioning of microorganisms. The foam solution they produce makes it difficult for dirt particles to come into contact with bacteria. Therefore, decomposition processes do not go on, and sewage accumulates and emits an unpleasant odor.

Why does the house smell like sewerage: the wrong system design

If the smell of sewerage in a house that was built quite recently, then there is no need to talk about the old age of sewer systems.The most likely causes of sewer odor are improper sewer piping assemblies.

There are certain requirements for laying pipes, if not observed, the entire system may not work properly. What is expressed in the stagnation of sewage, rapid clogging of pipes, the occurrence of leaks and, as a result, the appearance of unpleasant odors.

The solution to the problem is quite expensive, since you will have to completely dismantle the existing system and install it on a new one, taking into account the required slope.

Photo 2. In a properly made sewerage system, there are no unnecessary pipe bends.

The easiest way to correct the situation is if the installation of the sewer was nevertheless carried out correctly, but the pipe connections are poorly tightened. Since plastic components are most often used recently, you only need to replace the gaskets or additionally install hard rubber sealing cuffs.

Ways to eliminate unpleasant odors

For each reason for the formation of odor, there are ways to eliminate:

• when filling the storage tank, cleaning is required, that is, the removal of drains and sediment from the pit;
• in the absence of sufficient ventilation, a fan riser is equipped;
• when bacteria die, they are renewed with special compounds.

Tank cleaning

How to get rid of the smell when the septic tank is overflowing? The container needs to be cleaned. You can do this in two ways:

• manually;
• specialized technology.

Manual cleaning of a pit from concrete rings, a metal or plastic container is carried out in the following way:

1. liquid drains are removed from the pit with a drainage pump, buckets or other devices;
2. then the sediment and solid waste accumulated at the bottom of the pit are removed;

Manual cleaning of the cesspool

1. the inner surface of the storage tank is cleaned with an iron brush;
2. the septic tank (pits, containers, and so on) is washed with running water. To do this, the container is completely filled with water and pumped out after 10 - 15 minutes.

Scheme of placing bacteria in a collection container

After cleaning, it is necessary to place activated sludge or biobacteria in the tank, which will contribute to the purification and processing of incoming effluents.

How self-care is done, see the video.

The cleaning process can be carried out faster with the help of a sewage machine, which is capable of pumping out not only liquid, but also silt deposits. To clean the cesspool with special equipment, it is necessary to have an access road and some capable space around the septic tank.

Cleaning a septic tank with a sewer machine

The cost of cleaning a special machine depends on the volume of the septic tank.

Ventilation construction

The fan pipe allows:

• remove accumulated gases from drains, reducing the formation of an unpleasant odor;
• biobacteria work more actively due to the constant supply of oxygen inside the treatment plant.

How to eliminate the smell from the septic tank, if the reason lies in the lack of necessary ventilation? To do this, according to the following scheme, a ventilation riser is constructed:

1. materials are being prepared. For the construction of a fan pipe, you must purchase:
   • plastic pipe with a diameter of 100 - 110 mm and a length of 120 - 130 cm;
   • any fasteners (clamps, brackets, and so on);
   • sealant;
   • a tip that protects the device from precipitation and third-party contaminants;
2. a pipe 70–80 cm long is placed in a septic tank or cesspool and fixed in the most appropriate way;
3. all joints are sealed;
4. a tip is put on the top of the pipe.

Bacterial cleaning

Removal of an unpleasant odor is a consequence of wastewater treatment with special biological preparations.

Adding bacteria to the cesspool will not only eliminate odors, but also increase the level of wastewater treatment, which can later be disposed of using a drainage system. The use of drainage, in turn, increases the terms of use of the container without additional cleaning.

The most popular means for cleaning cesspools are:

Doctor Robik. Biological preparations of this brand contribute to the treatment of wastewater and the decomposition of solid sediment, which helps to eliminate odor

When using the products, it is important to follow the instructions on the package;

Thus, if it stinks from a cesspool or septic tank, then you must first find out the cause of the smell, and then find a way to eliminate it.

Why it smells like sewage in a private house - reasons

Most often, sewage smells unpleasantly as a result of design errors:

1. The design does not provide for fan ventilation intended for purging sewers. It is a continuation of the riser up and is displayed through the roof of the house into the outer space. The size of the drain channel is chosen equal to the diameter of the riser, and for its wiring, the building project must have a special insulated shaft.

1. A cap is not installed on the fan pipe, as a result of which its opening may be clogged with debris or blocked by a bird's nest. In addition, this use of a sewer pipe can lead to a reverse flow of air under the pressure of a strong wind.
2. The height of the fan outlet is insufficient and, under certain conditions, an unpleasant odor spreads at the point of discharge.
3. The outlet of the sewer ventilation system is located at a distance of less than four meters from the windows and emissions from it penetrate into the living space.
4. The ventilation outlet from the external sewage system (cesspool or septic tank) is not brought far enough from the house or is located against the wind rose - the prevailing wind direction in the area. As a result, smells are applied towards the residential building.

If the house stinks of sewerage, operational circumstances may have arisen:

1. Siphon failure. These devices are installed at each drain point precisely to protect against the penetration of gases from the sewer into the living space.

 

1. Siphon drying up. This circumstance occurs, as a rule, in houses with periodic visits. During a long absence of the owners, the water seal in the siphon dries up, opening up access to the room for gases from the drain system. What can be done if a private house smells like sewage? There is no other option here but to agree with the neighbors so that they open the water in the house at least once a week in order to restore the water locks.
2. Siphon failure. Careless handling of the siphon can lead to leaks as a result of the formation of microcracks or screwing out of the threads in the connections. There can be only one way out - a careful and attentive attitude to plumbing equipment.

Why there is an unpleasant smell from sewer networks

It happens that in apartments of multi-storey buildings or in private buildings an unpleasant smell appears from the pipes of engineering sewerage networks, which cannot be eliminated by ventilation or with the help of air fresheners. In this case, it is necessary to find the cause of its occurrence, and then immediately take measures to eliminate it. In some cases, there may be several reasons.

The reasons for the appearance of an unpleasant smell of sewerage in residential premises can be different, both intra-apartment and common house.

Problems with the general sewer system of the house

1. Sometimes, when designing or at the stage of building a house, the norms for conducting sewer pipes are not observed. If they are violated, the engineering system is not able to function correctly. Failure to comply with the required angle of inclination leads to stagnation of sewer water, and as a result, to the appearance of a persistent odor in all areas of the house. Also in the apartment, after installing or replacing old pipes, such a problem may appear.

2. If the smell is felt on the first and second floors of the house, as well as in the entrance, then the obvious cause is a breakdown in the pipeline of the basement system. If a pipe cracked there, then the drains freely flow out, exude a fetid odor.

Problems of the sewerage networks in the apartment

If the smell is felt only in the places where various plumbing fixtures are installed, then the reason is in the apartment itself.

1. Hidden leaks can cause stench if old, rotten cast iron pipes are installed in the bathroom or bathroom. Even a small gap or hole in the cast iron will become a source of suffocating fetid odor. Damage can hide at points where pipes are embedded in the wall or floor, so it will be quite difficult to detect them. Even modern plastic pipes are not completely protected from such damage.

2. The unpleasant smell of drains in the kitchen and in the bathroom can come from the connection point of the sink, sink, toilet bowl if they are not hermetically installed.

3. If there are no obvious leaks, then you should check the siphons (water seals), which are located under kitchen sinks, sinks and other plumbing. They are a curved pipe, in which there is always water, which is a kind of barrier to the penetration of odors from pipes. When the pipes are completely filled with waste water, the protective water plug leaves the water seal and it dries up. In this case, the barrier to the penetration of fetid odor disappears. This can happen when installing thin pipes that have a smaller diameter, as well as blockages and even freezing of the system.

4. If the pressure in the engineering system is much higher than atmospheric pressure, then air from it begins to flow into the room. If the fan pipe is blocked for some reason, then the functioning of the siphons is disrupted. As a result, when water is discharged (for example, when draining a toilet bowl), a vacuum appears in engineering networks, at which water disappears from hydraulic seals. As a result of this, all fetid odors begin to quickly enter the room.

5. When the siphons of the sink or sink are clogged with household decaying waste, a cloying smell is felt in the room. Also, water flows slowly through the pipes, as the blockage does not allow it to completely flush them.

6. If the neighbors of the upper floor began to make repairs, but instead of the old cast-iron pipe they installed a new one, but of a smaller diameter, then the ventilation system of the fan riser is disturbed and the sink water seal can break when draining the toilet bowl.
7. The smell of drains can come from the washing machine or dishwasher. A fungus or mold appears on the elements of the device, which cause stench.Debris (hair, clothing fibers, food waste) accumulates in the drain pump or drain hose of one of the devices, it begins to rot and smell bad.

Why sewer gases are dangerous

1. The fetid smell not only creates discomfort for people, but also permeates all interior items, furniture, clothes and even walls. It's hard to get rid of it.
2. A certain percentage of poisonous methane gas is formed in the sewers, which adversely affects human health and, at high concentrations, can cause an explosion. Hydrogen sulfide, which is also found in sewage, is hazardous to human health.
3. Mold and fungus, which also form unclean drains, cause occupants to develop asthma, rashes, allergic reactions and skin irritations.

Why there is an unpleasant smell from sewer networks

It can smell like sewage in an apartment for several reasons; you can fix some malfunctions of engineering networks yourself.

Problems with the general sewer system of the house

The following reasons can contribute to the appearance of an unpleasant odor:

1. Incorrect installation of sewer pipes. If the norms are ignored, the system cannot work normally. When laying pipes with an incorrect slope, sewage stagnates, which contributes to the penetration of malodorous gases into apartments. Such a problem can also arise when replacing an old pipeline with a new one.
2. Malfunctions in the basement sewer system. If the pipe is damaged, sewage flows out, emitting a pungent odor. In this case, the sewer smells on the lower floors of the building.
3. Blockage of the general system. Occurs when large debris is thrown into plumbing fixtures that are not intended for this.In this case, not only stink appears, but pathogenic microorganisms spread.

Problems of the sewerage networks in the apartment

If the sewer stinks in the bathroom and toilet rooms, the reasons lie in the malfunctions of the internal drainage system.

Blockage in the drainage pipe.

These include:

1. Pipeline damage. Metal elements corrode, causing leakage. Even a small opening lets in fetid gases. Damaged areas can be embedded in walls or floors, and it will not be easy to identify them. Less often, cracks and chips occur on plastic pipes.
2. Incorrect operation of the water seal. Check all drains located under bathtubs and kitchen sinks. They look like curved pipes, in which there is a certain amount of water. When the siphon overflows with drains, the water seal is drained into the sewer. A dry appliance cannot prevent the penetration of gases into the room.
3. Increasing pressure in the system. If this figure exceeds the normal value, gases begin to flow into the apartment. Such a situation can arise with a single discharge of a large volume of water, due to which the hydraulic seals lose their water barrier.
4. Blockage of a sewer pipe. Contributes to improper operation of drain devices and the release of gases into the room.
5. Clogged drains. Household waste that stagnates in the flask begins to decompose, emitting an unpleasant odor. The water drains slowly, which prevents it from flushing the system.
6. Installation of pipes of the wrong diameter. If the neighbors on the top floor make repairs and use smaller elements, in winter there are problems with the ventilation of the fan pipe.The siphon water seal may disappear when the toilet is flushed.
7. Clogged drain hoses of washing machines and dishwashers. Contaminated places become sources of fungus and mold. Clogged hoses are facilitated by particles of food and tissues, hair. They begin to decompose, emitting an unpleasant odor.

The constant penetration of sewer smell is fraught not only with discomfort, but also with the appearance of chronic diseases in residents.

Why are sewer gases dangerous?

The consequences of the spread of fetid gases in the apartment are:

1. Damage to property. The sewer smell interferes with residents, is absorbed into furniture, decorative wall decoration, clothes, food products. It is difficult to eliminate it, air fresheners with a pronounced aroma only temporarily solve the problem.
2. Resident poisoning. When food waste breaks down, poisonous methane gas is formed, which negatively affects human well-being. When large volumes of material are released, an explosion may occur. Hydrogen sulfide contained in sewage is no less dangerous.
3. The development of chronic diseases in residents. The fungus and bacteria that spread when the sewer is clogged cause allergic reactions, dermatological pathologies and asthma.

We are looking for the cause in the treatment plant

If, after checking the internal sewerage networks, no defects were found, you will need to pay attention to how the septic tank works

Use of bacteria

Often, the smell from the treatment tank appears after the conditions of its operation have been violated. For example, when washing or cleaning plumbing, disinfectants were used.The antibacterial additives that are part of such products have a detrimental effect on the microflora of the septic tank. This leads to violations of the cleaning processes and the appearance of a putrid odor.

What to do in this case? To restore the balance of microorganisms in the treatment plant and remove the unpleasant odor, it is necessary to use special bioadditives. Such funds are sold in hardware stores in a large assortment.

Advice! It is important to choose the right supplement, as different means are aimed at solving different problems. First of all, you should determine the type of bacteria

They are of two types:

First of all, you should decide on the type of bacteria. They are of two types:

• Anaerobic, existing and carrying out life processes without the presence of oxygen;
• Aerobic, for the existence of which the oxygen of the air is necessary.

The type of bacteria is selected depending on the type of septic tank and the specifics of the processes occurring in them. For example, if a septic tank is installed on the site, the smell caused by the imbalance of microflora is eliminated by introducing anaerobic bacteria into the container. Models equipped with aerators must use aerobic bacteria.

It is not difficult to introduce bacterial preparations into a septic tank. You just need to pour the liquid preparation into the toilet bowl and flush the water several times. In the event that the drug is dry (powder or tablets), then it is pre-diluted with water.

Advice! In order for the applied drug to work, you need to make sure that there is enough fluid in the septic tank. If there is not enough water, you need to pour in several buckets so that the liquid level is higher than the sediment level.

Septic tank cleaning

If it was not possible to cope with the smell by using biological products and the installation still stinks, you will have to contact the companies providing sewage services to clean the chambers. With the help of equipment, specialists will remove most of the sediment, and, if necessary, clean the walls of the chambers.

The problem of unpleasant "aromas" can be encountered not only during the operation of conventional sedimentation tanks, but also if a high-tech septic tank is installed on the site.

The most common reason in this case is a violation of the rules of service. For example, a Topas septic tank is installed on the site - is there a smell from this installation? Most likely, the cause of the malfunction is the untimely maintenance.

During the operation of the septic tank, a precipitate (activated sludge) is formed, which will need to be periodically removed. With the constant operation of the station, it is necessary to clean the sump or once a quarter.

To carry out this operation, it is not necessary to call specialists, you can clean it yourself. For this, a built-in airlift or a conventional fecal pump is used. After pumping out the sludge, the chambers are filled with clean water.

Septic tank ventilation

When building home-made septic tanks, inexperienced builders often do not pay due attention to the ventilation system. In the absence or poor performance of the air exchange system, the septic tank may begin to spread unpleasant odors. The only solution to this problem is to rework the work and build efficient ventilation.

So, any homeowner can face the problem of sewer smell.In order for the smell from the septic tank to stop annoying, it is necessary to find the cause of the odors, and then take measures to eliminate it as soon as possible.

Lack of water in the water seal

Siphon

To create a water seal, a siphon or a curved pipe is used, the elbow of which is located below the drain point. It installs a barrier of tap water that prevents the penetration of odor from the sewer. When drained, water flows down the pipe and is replaced by a new one. An effective system fails if:

• due to the rare use of a plumbing point, the water in the knee dries up;
• a crack appears in the siphon;
• the water plug is drawn into the sewer.

What to do if the fluid in the knee has dried up? Drying of water is easily eliminated by opening the tap and gaining a sufficient level to resume the water seal. If a crack appears in the pipe or siphon under the sink, it is isolated with sealant or the defective area is replaced. Using a corrugation is convenient for making a knee, but the configuration of a homemade siphon may change over time. It is corrected by repeated bending of the elastic pipe with fixing with a mounting plate.

Deposits accumulate on the inner walls of the corrugations and bacteria multiply, which can cause an unpleasant odor. The pipe under the sink can be washed with a special agent and boiling water, and the toilet corrugation is inexpensive, so it is better to replace it, because it will not be very pleasant to wash it.

Corrugation can be replaced

The disappearance of a water plug as a result of a change in pressure in the sewer system occurs when ventilation is disturbed.The fan pipe that discharges gases to the street can become clogged with snow or its height is less than 4 m from ground level, this leads to interruptions in the operation of ventilation and pressure drops. By restoring the normal operation of the ventilation, you equalize the pressure in the sewer system and get rid of the unpleasant odor.

Water seal

The pressure drop leading to the disappearance of the water plug also occurs due to a decrease in the cross section of the pipes located above. If someone on the lower floors abruptly drains the water (washes the toilet, for example), then a vacuum is created in the pipe and the water seal is drawn into the sewer. This occurs as a result of the narrowing of the pipes due to deposits on the inner walls. Accumulation can be reduced by using special solvent chemicals.

In winter, areas located on the street or in a cold room are overgrown with ice and block the flow of waste. De-icing is done by turning on hot water or laying heating cables. To avoid freezing, it is necessary to insulate the sewer pipes with penofol or mineral wool.

Another reason for the failure of the water seal is the pipe installation angle exceeding 15º. In this case, a fast flow of draining water carries away the water seal and opens up access to air from the sewer. Such a defect is corrected by dismantling the pipeline and a new competent installation of the system.

Possible causes of sewer odors

1. No liquid in the siphon

This happens when no one uses this draw-off point for a long time. Then there is the smell of sewage in the room. As a rule, this happens with a long absence of tenants.The water "standing" in the water seal evaporates, and gases from the pipe system enter the room.

Open the faucet and turn on the water. After a short period of time, the smell of sewage in the bathroom (kitchen) will disappear.

2. One of the siphons is clogged

This plumbing fixture serves as a place for the accumulation of solid fractions that enter the sewer and settle on the siphon cover. It is there that particles of fat, products and the like accumulate, which begin to rot and decompose. Hence the smell of sewage in the room.

Silting

You can understand that the pit has silted up by the following signs:

• water from the bathroom or toilet drains very slowly;
• runoff can spill around holes on the surface of the earth;
• wastewater does not seep into the ground well and linger in the structure for a long time;
• from the pits there is a sharp unpleasant smell.

The choice of method for cleaning pits depends on the design of the structure. So, an open-type cesspool (without a bottom) is cleaned mechanically or chemically. To do this, do the following:

• pump out liquid waste;
• renew the gravel pack layer at the bottom;
• add chemicals for cleaning pits, which are made on the basis of nitrate oxidizers. They contribute to the liquefaction of solid waste and remove unpleasant odors.

Mechanical cleaning is carried out by pumping out a third of the waste, washing the pit with water under pressure and re-pumping the effluent with a fecal pump. Vacuum trucks can effectively clear the pit of silt.

A closed pit silts up much faster. In this case, it is necessary to pump out and take out the contents of the sealed tank. That's what the sweepers do.If you want to save money, you can use chemicals or biological products. Chemicals corrode even solid waste, clearing the pit. The action of biological products is based on the use of bacteria that decompose solid waste into gas and water.

Septic tank stinks - what to do?

The best solution is to contact the company that performed installation of a septic tank. For uninterrupted and trouble-free operation, the designs adhere to the rules. The model is not intended to process chemical waste. Proper operation will help dilute a small amount of household chemicals from the kitchen, bathroom and will not harm the beneficial microflora. Accuracy is valued, it is forbidden to drain into a biological treatment station:

• construction waste;
• products containing phosphates, chlorine;
• medicines, including antibiotics;
• polymers and their derivatives;
• fungi and their spores;
• fluff and animal hair.

Buying a septic tank in Moscow with installation by Septengineering specialists means it is profitable to equip the local area. Compliance with simple requirements will relieve the stench from the treatment facility and malfunctions of the facility.

Cesspools and toilets

There are quite a lot of such funds on the shelves of specialized stores now. To facilitate the choice, consider a few of the most popular drugs to date.

"Biosept" for septic tanks and cesspools

The bioactivator "Biosept" helps not only to clean the sewer, but also prevents the inevitable re-formation of blockages in the pipes. The composition of the drug includes a large number of food enzymes and biologically active selection bacteria. Highly environmentally friendly.

"Doctor Robik" for cesspools and septic tanks

"Doctor Robik" is able to dissolve not only organic substances, but also contributes well to the dissolution of paper, fabric, various kinds of phenols and detergents. Its only drawback is that for greater effectiveness, this drug has to be used about once a month, while other drugs are used much less frequently.

• Effectively decomposes organics, feces, fats, paper;
• Destroys unpleasant odors of organic decomposition;
• Does not contain chemicals;
• Environmentally friendly product;
• Safe for people, animals and plants;
• Reduces several times the need for auto-cleaning.

"Gorynych" for cesspools

Binary bioactivator "Gorynych" is a fairly new tool to combat bad odor. It helps to actively reduce the amount of sludge in sewer systems. It can also break down active fats and organic compounds. It contains a large number of spores of beneficial bacteria.

"Saneks" for cesspools

Saneks preparation for septic tanks and cesspools is one of the latest Polish developments. It is a reddish powder with a slight yeasty odor. The drug can process the contents of the cesspool surrounding it into water suitable for further use. This water is chemically neutral and environmentally safe.It can be safely used for watering the garden plot or drained into the nearest reservoirs. In addition, Saneks has a beneficial effect on drainage systems, preventing the formation of silt deposits on pipes.

"Tamir" for cesspools

The microbiological agent "Tamir" is used to eliminate unpleasant odors in toilets, sewer systems, as well as on various agricultural farms. In addition to cleaning sewer pipes, it contributes to the most rapid composting of waste from agricultural, domestic and industrial human activities. This compost can be safely used when fertilizing the garden plot.

This is not all the tools that can now be found in stores. Their huge variety in this case is not a bad feature, because thanks to this everyone will be able to choose only the tool that is most suitable for his site. If for some reason you do not have the opportunity to remove the smell from the cesspool yourself, you can always call a team of experienced sewage specialists. They will pump out all the waste from the cesspool for a fee.

We restore the population of microorganisms

If a large amount of disinfectant solutions gets into the working septic tank, the number of bacterial particles decreases. At the same time, the entire colony of bacteria rarely dies, because its population is large. According to the laws of biology, if conditions are favorable, the population will increase again. This requires two factors - time and the termination of the action of chlorine-containing drugs. In 2-3 weeks, the bacteria will multiply again and begin to actively process waste.

If you need to eliminate the smell quickly, use biological products for the septic tank.They contain mixtures of various microorganisms that will help the existing population to recover. Bioactivators act quickly, for their work it is necessary to have feces in the well and a layer of water. Therefore, make sure that there is still liquid in the septic tank. It is possible to pour several buckets of water into the sewer before throwing microorganisms. Thus, it is possible to start the septic tank after the winter. Although the design of the well must be insulated. The natural temperature allows bacteria to survive the winter, even if no one uses the sewer.

Why there is a smell from the sink, from the bath, from the toilet and how to eliminate it

Waste products accumulate in the drains of sinks, bathtubs and toilets. These are fats, food residues, detergents, hair and so on. Over time, they begin to decompose and emit a strong fetid odor. This odor can only be permanently removed by removing these deposits from siphons and sewer pipes. But getting there is often not possible. To quickly eliminate odors from sinks, from bathtubs, from toilets, use Likvazym, which is introduced into the sewer pipes. After that, dormant bacteria begin to actively wake up and absorb all organic matter, hair, fats and growths in the pipes, thereby eliminating the cause of the smell.

If in the sewer pipes in the country or in the house, and not just in a city apartment, fats begin to settle. then hair, skin residues, soap flakes after taking a shower, food particles after washing dishes and so on stick to them.
