    Bad odor
    Help
    I have a bad odor coming in from the pipe that leads to my sump pump well. Also mud is coming in the same way. I live in a 4 unit townhouse that all share the same drain tile. Don't know if that helps.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Bird,

    Do the other units all drain into your pit? If the drain pipe's Terra-Cotta,(tile)
    Then it sounds like you have a break in the line that allows dirt to enter. Or the dirt could be coming from a "french drain" from outside. As for the odor, can you get to the other end of the drain line to load it up with bleach?
    Regards, Tom
