About a year ago my husband and I along with our two daughters moved into a three level home... here and there we have to plunge the basement .( this was mentioned to us to by the landlord).. the past 6 months its been about I to 3 times a week we have to pluge and snake the basement sewer... we have spoken about the situation to our landlord... the smell is horrible... every time the basement sewer line gets backed up we bleach the basement floor to rid any left over bacteria and to assist the smell that wafers throughout the line ( granted we also use those flowerly smells along with vinigar, and baking soda to help also -- but not at the same time)... the area where the sewer line sits the room above it is the living room... that area can smell horendous even when the basement is not backed up... we have looked for mildew and mold to see if they could possibly be a colperate too... what else could cause this sulfer, sewer , smell?.
