    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 ?

    Thanks a lot for responding.
    I don't have any floor drains and I have made sure that all p traps are ful of water.
    The bathhroom and kitchen sinks have rubber flapper type vents under the counter and I have replaced them also. Any any idea would be apreciated we are pulling out our hair on this.

    Thanks again for trying to help.

    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 ?

    Thanks again,
    Inside outside right side left side bottom side top side, its everywhere and all of the time. Sometimes it is worse than others when a breeze blows just right, showers make it worse.


    Thanks again for trying to help!
