        "text": "You should call a professional if the sewer smell persists despite basic troubleshooting, such as running water in drains or checking for dry P-traps. A professional is also needed if the smell is strong, widespread, or accompanied by other issues like slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage backups. These symptoms can indicate a more serious plumbing problem, such as a main sewer line blockage or damage, which requires specialized equipment and expertise to diagnose and repair safely.",
