Do your vents smell like sewage?
Recently a customer scheduled an appointment with us and she said when she put her face close to her air vents, she smelled sewage or dead animal.
Possible cause of a sewage smell #1 is your indoor coil drain pan.
During the summer months the drain pan is constantly wet and can build up some growth. The mold growth from the coil drain pan can dry with a sewage smell that will be a problem even in winter months since the coil is in the air flow of the furnace.
Solution: clean the coil drain pan with a water/Corox mixture and insert a pan treatment.
Possible cause of bad smell #2 is your floor drain near your furnace.
The smell from a floor drain gets picked up in your air circulation throughout your home.
Solution: clean the floor drain by flushing it with water.
