    Constant sewer gas oder
    How do I get rid of my constant sewer gas smell? I have a clean septic tank and have opened up my leach line so there is should not be any back pressure. I added the recommended chemicals with bacteria etc. and I have raised my vent pipes on top of the house. I'm out of ideas. HELP! This is causing real problems for my wife's athsma.

    Do you have any floor drains ? Any bathroom you don't use on regular bases ? Do all your sinks have traps installed ?

    Is that smell inside the house only or you can smell it outside as well ? Does it smell all the time or at certain times only ?
