Hello. We just finished a new house. Been living in it about 3 months. A few weeks ago when we got our first cool evening, I noticed a septic smell along the front of the house. We live on top of a hill, on a slightly slipped hillside. After looking at the tank and field and finding nothing, I got up on the roof and the source of the smell is our vent.
It was only about 12” out of the roof so I added a longer section. It’s still below the ridge so you can’t see it when you pull up to the house, but the vent pipe is approx. 4’ long.
It’s cool this morning and when I come outside I can still smell it. So apparently height isn’t the issue.
I’d rather not have to smell that every time I walk out of the house so what can be done to remedy this?
Thank you.
