Why is there an odor coming from my floor drain?
Usually this occurs in the winter time as the trap in the floor drain dries out, allowing the sewer odor to enter the house. To fix the problem, add water to the floor drain and the smell should go away. If this method doesn't work, contact the Public Works Sewer Department at 847-317-7245 for further assistance.
