Sewer Gas Odors
We had our drain field replaced last year and have noticed sewer gas smells when we walk around the outside of the house. I think the smells are coming from the roof vents. We never had the problem before, The drainfield was replaced because of saturation and did backup once into the basement. Any suggestions what could be causing this? Thanks Rich

I have a problem that is driving me crazy. Starting about 2 months ago I started smelling sewer gas during and immediately after taking a shower in my shower stall. From everything I have read to date, this should be a vent problem. I have two main lines under the house, and the line that the...
