Smelly Basement?

BIO-CLEANCAN.
The main cause for a bad smell in the basement is that the floor drain has dried out and now sewer gas is venting into the house.  The floor drain in your basement is similar to the p-trap under the kitchen sink.  The p-trap actually holds a trap seal preventing sewer gas from entering into your house.  If the trap seal dries up a little and breaks the seal, sewer gas can enter into your house.  The solution to this problem is very simple.  Pour at least two gallons of water down the drain to refill the trap seal and prevent smelly gases from coming back up.  A preventive measure to help keep your trap seal and keep your drain open is a Bio-Clean (www.bio-clean.com) treatment.  For additional information, call John Laughlin at (636) 225-0992 or email: johnl@ojlaughlin.com.
