Terry,
Our 3-level piling home was completed about 7 months ago. We didn't find out until it was too late that our Plumber was a crook who had to be watched every minute. I was acting as onsite project manager to protect our investment, so he didn't get away with much. But he insisted that the only way to plumb two areas of this house was with two studor vents, one in the level 2 laundry and one hidden behind the master cabinetry on an outside wall of a bumpout area/level 3. He guaranteed that we would never smell a thing. We almost immediately had a problem with the 2nd level vent. He fixed it before final walk-through, but I have no idea how. The sewer odor is now overpowering in the master bath. I am at my wits end and don't have a clue how to handle this issue. Even if it were possible to pull the cabinets out and put a charcoal filter cap on the vent, I would assume that it would be necessary to replace the filter at certain intervals. Is there a workable option for us?
Thanks!
