    Sewage smell in basement
    I have a sewage sump pump system in the basement,I am getting a lot of sewage smell going into the rest of the rooms. It would take major work to disconnect the pumps to lift the lid of the sewage tank, What could I use to stop the smell or seal the lid without lifting it?

    Would it be possible to caulk the rim with Silicon Jel or some other sealant?
