        "text": "If you detect a sewage smell, open windows to ventilate the area and prevent gas buildup. Check frequently used drains, like sinks or showers, to ensure their P-traps aren't dry; run water for a minute to refill them. Inspect visible pipes for leaks or standing water. If the smell persists or is very strong, especially after checking drains, it's advisable to contact a professional for a thorough inspection to identify and resolve the issue safely.",
