Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out if an old main water line running from the sidewalk to my house could be the reason for a sewer smell coming from my pipes. My husband and I did a thorough check of everything in our home, including the water heater, and thankfully, we didn't find any issues. But we're still concerned and wondering if there might be a leak somewhere.

Sounds like the smell is coming from your drain pipes. Old water lines can sometimes cause odors if there’s a leak or if they haven’t been maintained. It might be worth getting a plumber to take a look if you’re concerned!
Just to clarify, are you talking about a smell from the water itself or from the drains? It’s important to know since it could point to different issues.
