    Sewage odor in house
    A few years ago we had master br remodeled and toilet was relocated into what was the closet and a new sewer line was installed.

    We are getting a very strong sewage smell emanating from the toilet room into bedroom and even coming downstairs.

    Thing is, this only happens during summer esp when temps are hot as they are now. Never notice during other times of year.

    Wondering if maybe vent was put into attic over garage rather than outside. Will check on that but wondering if anyone sees a connection between heat and a/c running and the smell.

    Thanks in advance!

    How long ago was the remodel and did the odor come every summer since?
