Ever since I bought this house, there has been a sewage smell outside on one side. I finally figured out why.
This pipe is coming from the kitchen (top left of photo) and goes toward the city sewer (bottom left). There are two clean outs(?) that have no cap. It's almost like they are taped on the top.
Well, one of the tape jobs failed and the sewage just comes out of it. This is because the pipe is sloped in both directions towards these "clean outs."
What could have been the thought processes here? Why the clean outs? I suppose the solution is to delete the clean outs and suspend the pipe from the floor joists in order to get proper pitch?
