Hi,
I have been working this issue on the pump section and it was suggested I post this on the plumbing side to see if there are any plumbers out there who can help.
I have a terrible odor from my basement sewage pump. I have bar sink almost directly over the pump that I have draining into the pump via the vent pipe. Is this incorrect? Would this cause the smell? What can I do to eliminate the problem?
Attached is a drawing that shows the sewage line with the check valve, and the vent piple with the sink draing coming into it from the back. I have caulked with scilicone the all of the fittings and seals, and I still have the smell. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can't stand it any more.
