My wife and I recently noticed a sewer smell in our home. I went down to the basement and noticed that the rubber boot that connected the sump pump to the pvc discharge pipe was loose thus spraying smelly "water" into my basement. I secured the boot and figured OK problem solved... not quite. I am still getting that sewer smell in my home. At first I thought that I may have not cleaned the basement well enough, and figured that's why the smell was still present. I went down to inspect the sump today and noticed the smell near the sump. Upstairs on the main floor, the smell comes and goes, so I'm thinking every time the sump kicks on, the smell travels up. Just an FYI I had "Roto-Rooter" come out to do my sewer about a year and a half ago. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
