        "text": "Sewer smells from drains are commonly caused by a dry P-trap, which is the U-shaped pipe under sinks and in floor drains. The water in this trap creates a seal that prevents sewer gases from entering your home. If the water evaporates or is siphoned out, the gases can escape. Other causes include a damaged or improperly vented drain line, a clogged drain, or issues with your home's main sewer line. Identifying the specific source is crucial for effective remediation.",
