In response to Re: Bad smell - not sure where it is coming from
: We live in a rural community and have a septic tank. We have only lived here for about 18months but : we have noticed periodically that we notice a bad smell(kind of like rotten eggs) outside. We assumed that : our septic tank needed pumping. We had it pumped and the smell periodically comes back. We have : almost pegged it to coming back after a rain, but still arent sure that that is the only times. My father : in-law believes that it is coming from our roof vents for our septic system(our house is a bungalow and : we are usually on our raised deck when we smell it). : Any thoughts on this and if it is our roof venting system, is there a way to filter the smell? Do I need to : raise the pipe? thx.
