    Sewage smell in master bedroom
    We have a sewage smell in our master bedroom that I only notice when the dryer or the dishwasher are running. Am I crazy? Or is there a connection? We do not notice the smell coming from any of the drains in the bathroom or toilet. Recently we had our master bath remodeled and that is when the sewage smell became apparent. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Since it started with the remodel I'd call the plumber back and reaise heck. The dryer causes negative pressure in your home and could pull sewer gas from a poorly installed vent.
