    Sewage smells
    Could it be the washer or dryer??
    I am having this sewer smell. Do I call a plummer to make it go away. I have lived here 13 years. It started about 2 month ago. It comes and goes, but is strong at night.
    I can't take it.
    It really seems to come from the washer and dryer area, but I also have a tub with the jacuzzi jet switch broken. I can not pin it down. It is everywhere and seems to be spreading.
    I am not handy, I just want to call somebody before it make me crazy:confused:

    Does you washer drain into a stand pipe in the wall or into a tub? Chances are good you have a blocked vent or a bad trap. Come back with how it drains. PS if the jacuzzi is broken through two cups of bleach in the tub until you can repair it.
