Sewage ejector pump odor

Posted by Brian on March 07, 2003 at 15:16:33:
The bathroom in our basement (shower, sink, and toilet) are connected to a sewage ejector pump. Recently, the pump area has been smelling like sewage after it is used. Does this normally indicate that the pump is having a problem, or does it just need to be cleaned? The pump itself seems to be functioning correctly (I can hear it going off after the sump is full.) Thanks, Brian
