: We have an unfinished basement that is plumbed to finish in future. There is a sewer smell that's pretty strong especially when it's very cold outside. Any suggestions why this happens and how to fix it. thanks Heather Reply: Make sure any and all future drain pipes and vents are properly capped or plugged, you could have sewer gas escaping. Also, check the sewer line for any open clean-out fittings and pour water into any infrequently used plumbing fixtures, including floor drains. Good Luck. e-plumber
