        "text": "If you detect a sewer gas smell, the first step is to ventilate the area by opening windows and doors. Check if any seldom-used drains, like in a guest bathroom, have dry P-traps and pour a gallon of water down them. Also, ensure toilet bowls are full of water. If the smell persists, avoid using the affected drains and contact a professional plumber or restoration company. They can diagnose the source of the smell, which might range from minor plumbing issues to a serious sewer line problem, and advise on the next steps.",
