Lingering Smell?

You’ve finally optimized your small bathroom with the perfect compact toilet. It looks great, it fits the space, and yet—there’s a lingering, musty smell you just can’t shake. If you think a new fixture should have solved the problem, you might be looking at the wrong part of the pipe.

Small Spaces, Big Odors

In small bathrooms or powder rooms, airflow is often limited. When a sewer gas leak occurs, the concentration builds up much faster than in a large, airy master bath. Many homeowners assume the wax ring on their new toilet is leaking, but in Riverside County’s older homes, the issue is often deeper in the venting system.

Smoke Testing

Traditional leak detection can be invasive, often requiring us to cut into your beautiful new drywall to find a pinhole leak. That’s where Smoke Testing comes in.

• How it works: We inject a non-toxic, odorless “smoke” into your plumbing system under slight pressure.

• The Result: The smoke exits exactly where the sewer gas is escaping—whether it’s a cracked vent pipe behind the vanity or a loose fitting in the wall.

• Why it’s perfect for small spaces: It’s 100% non-destructive. We find the source of the smell without tearing up your renovation.

Why Davis Plumbing & Heating? We specialize in local Riverside County homes, from the historic builds in Riverside to the newer developments in Menifee. We don’t just sell you a toilet; we ensure your “small space” stays fresh and functional.
