    When I flush the basement toilet it smells like sewer in up stairs one after sub pum?

    You really mean a ejector pump don't you? If the pump drains into the sewer main it's possible that I can cause back pressure if there's a partial blovkage,
    Any bubbling in the toilet bowl? Back to you. Tom

    You can replace the wax ring but if that doesn't get it I'd snake from the pump on out. Good luck, Tom
