Ok, we had a cabin built 1.5 years ago. Septic holding tank and all plumbing was inspected and passed, even the cheater valve that was installed for the laundry, which is where I have the problem.
Every time we use the compact washer we get a sewage smell from the cheater valve that fills the room. Vent stack on roof is clear and no smells anywhere else. Need some advice here. Is it because the cheater valve is not very effective? Could there be too much water pressure from the washer hose causing problems? I'm guessing our washer drain should have been vented to the main stack.
Any easy fixes here without tearing out walls.
Thanks
