A P-trap works by holding water in its curved section, creating a seal that blocks sewer gases. When a drain isn’t used often — such as a basement floor drain, guest bathroom sink, or laundry drain — that water can slowly evaporate, allowing odors to escape.
The simplest solution is regular use. Running water for 10–15 seconds every few weeks is usually enough to keep the trap full. For drains that are rarely used, some homeowners add a small amount of mineral oil after running water, which slows evaporation without affecting drainage.
If sewer smells keep returning even after adding water, there may be a deeper issue like a leaking trap, poor venting, or an improperly installed drain. These problems won’t resolve on their own and often worsen over time.
Done! can identify whether a drying P-trap is the real issue or a symptom of something bigger. For dependable plumbers for Denver, our team is ready to help keep your drains sealed, odor-free, and working properly.

In many cases, pipes actually burst after freezing — when ice begins to thaw and pressure is released. This is why damage is often discovered hours or even days after extremely cold weather.
If you’re unsure whether a pipe is frozen or already burst, it’s safest to call a professional plumber right away. A licensed technician can identify the problem, limit further damage, and make the necessary repairs before a small issue becomes a major one.

The time required to install a new water line depends on several factors, including the length of the water line, the route it must follow, soil conditions, and whether any obstacles such as concrete, landscaping, or existing utilities are present. Some installations are straightforward, while others require additional planning or coordination.
During installation, there may be temporary interruptions to water service and limited access to certain areas of the property. When possible, installation methods are selected and scheduled to reduce disruption and keep essential plumbing functional throughout the process.
Clear communication before and during the project helps set expectations around timing, access needs, and restoration. Once installation is complete, the water line is tested to ensure proper operation before normal use resumes.
