The problem started a few days ago when after taking a shower there was a horrible stench in the basement. We poured bleach and hot water down all the drains in the house. After using the washer, (in the basement) noticed the odor again and we can also now smell it in the bathroom. It smells like burning rotten food. Yesterday we had our catch basin rodded and cleaned and also the vent stacks on the roof rodded out. After taking a shower today the smell is back. None of our drains are clogged or running slow. The shower drain pipe runs into the toilet drain pipe in the basement and then goes to the sewer. Could there be a crack in the pipe or could the trap be full or broken? Please help. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
