Sleeping in a house or room where sewer gas is actively leaking is strongly discouraged and potentially hazardous to your health. While brief exposure to low levels of sewer gas causes minor irritation, prolonged overnight inhalation of hydrogen sulfide gas can lead to severe headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and respiratory irritation. If you detect a strong rotten eggs smell in your home, you must locate the source immediately—such as a dried-out plumbing P-trap near your washing machine drain standpipe. You can troubleshoot gas safety easily. You can verify that your home is safe for sleeping when pouring water down all drain P-traps to re-establish the liquid gas barrier completely eliminates the sulfur odor.
