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. |
