There's an odor inside my house, what is it?

The odor could be from a natural gas leak or from sewer gasses. If it is a natural gas leak, leave immediately and contact the utility department at 618-548-2222 or 548-2232 from a neighbors phone. If you smell sewer gas, check to see if all sewer traps are filled with water and check to see if the cap on the sewer cleanout is tight. If the trap is dry, pour at least 4 cups of water into the line to provide a seal in the U of the drain, preventing the sewer gas odors from entering the house. If the sewer gas smell persists, call your plumber and have your system checked.
