Hello!
We moved into this rental, a 3 bedroom double wide with a septic system/drain field. When we first moved in back in March, on cold mornings we noticed a pretty bad sewer smell, but could not locate it. During the summer, this smell went away. Now that it has started getting cold again, we noticed the smell, for the first time about a month ago. Went to Lowes and picked up some septic treatment packs, monthly maintenance stuff. Seems to help with the outside smell, but only temporarily. When it returns, we put another packet in the toilet and flush it.
Over the last week, we are now noticing that when the toilet is flushed, it gurgles, like a big bubble coming up. Also hearing gurgling in the kitchen sink when the washing machine drains.
Any thoughts?
