    Sewage smell in house
    Installed a new bathroom on the opposite side of the house. Connected the drain pipe to the main pipe, added a vent pipe. Now on the other side of the house you can smell sewage. Not on the new part! What could be wrong?

    Did you notice the smell before you remodeled? Do you hear any gurgles or bubbles when flushing or draining? How was the new installation vented? Back to you. Tom
