I'm considering buying a townhouse in a downtown, urban area. House is approximately 4 years old and has passed an Engineering inspection with flying colors. No problems detected. However, yesterday I visited the property and noticed an overwhelming smell of sewer gas outside the townhouse... on the front walk and in the street. Really gross. Went by property again this morning. Smell still there but less noticeable. It is unseasonably cool and breezy today. The smell seems to be coming from in and around a storm drain located on the corner of the street about 25 feet from this townhouse.
Have not smelled anything inside unit, and inspector checked all toilets and plumbing. Any thoughts? Should I be concerned?
