Hello folks. I've noticed for a while that there is a smell, maybe sewer gas like, in my bathroom of my mobile home at the far end of the house. It is only occasionally, and I think I finally have isolated it to when I wash my clothes. I think that is. I'm on a private lot of 5 acres with a septic system -- only 5 years old. Is this perhaps a problem with my septic system (I doubt it because it's only 5 years old and the area where my lines are seem to be pretty dry right now. Plus, the smell is at the far end of the house only. Perhaps is it a vent line? How might I find the line if so?
I have 3 large dogs, so dog hair is a part of my washing machine situation. I only do about 3 loads a week, approximately. I don't think the smell appears when I take a shower, but I will try to check that out tonight. I rarely use the tub or shower in the bathroom where the smell occurs.
At first I thought it was my clothes dryer, which is located somewhat next to my AC/heating unit (almost seemed like the smell came from the vent) then figured it was really the laundry that was just washed. Again, the smell is only on the one side of the house.
Any direction anyone can give me would be appreciated. Money of course is a bit tight right now, and I'd rather not call out a plumber if I don't have to.
