I struggled for an extensive period of time with septic odor. Many of the videos I watched didn't help to include this one. However, I decided to pour "extreme hot water" down the toilets throughout the house.... this simple technique fixed my problem.

First time living in a house with a septic tank and this helped alleviate my anxiety about the smell coming from around our home because we have 0 issues with drainage, gurgling, or wet areas and it's a brand new home we've only been been living in for about 10 months. Thank you for the informative video!

Thank you! I know nothing about septic tanks,…my first one in my cabin in the mountains. This helped me a lot!

I was worried but thanks to your video I feel better, new owner of a septic.

Thank you for this im having the same issue.

Thank you for explaining this I'm in Australia and get odour now and then. I'll try the extension and charcoal filter.

Thank you so much for this video!

I was considering adding a couple extra feet on my vent pipe to get it higher. It's low on the roof and I have a 10/12 pitch on my roof so it's no where near the peak. Colder nights seem to produce smell in the morning so your video was really helpful.

Wow like the questions 😮

Thanks

I have this problem, but I’m on city sewer. I happen to be near the lift station and my house is the lowest on the street, so excess gas seems to waft out of one of my vents. The city has been dragging their feet for years, the problem comes and goes based on weather. I bought a charcoal filter, but my vent pipe is entirely shrouded in lead flashing. Can I put it over the lead around the pipe, or do I need to somehow remove the flashing?

Thank you, that's an idea. What about installing a tall vent on top of the septic tank itself? Ours is very far from the house, so this is why we ask.

Hi thank you for your Video do you think for the oudor i can use a small meshbag filled with activ charcoal and put it on the filter against the oudor? do you have any tips for the outdoor oudor, we have a roof top but the smell does disturb up there. Thank you! I live in an rent apartment and can not install anything fix.

I have a rooftop terrace on top of an apartment building, and there are 10 vents from the different neighbors (one of them being a popular restaurant) ending there, so the occasional bad smells are not that occasional. But installing a separate filter onto each pipe will be quite costly. Are there any solutions for this? My idea now is to build a box around the entirety of those vents (they are luckily clustered together into two groups) and install a big carbon filter like what's used for the kitchen extractor hood. But I have no idea if that would work?

This fume blows back into my room 😢 from the house I'm renting it's really ridiculous and it comes through the bathroom sink and the bath I shower in. 😢😢. Additionally, the roof stack sticks out at the side of the wall and not even high. I do experience dizziness and a bad feeling each time.

I had that pipe replaced it was a originally cast-iron so my plumber replaced the pipe from the roof all the way to the back of the toilet to get rid of the septic smell in the house, but it did come back with one of these heavy rains. It’s only persistent when it rains, but once the rain stops, it goes away, and I hope you can help me out

I was brain storming a solution and this is what I was going to do, nice to confirm it. All of my roof vents are cut down about 1 inch above the boot, on a one story house. It's too low in my opinion, but at least now I know it's not some random dead animal.

What about if I have same symptoms but its smell in me Landry room too?

My aireator pump was out for about a week. I rebuilt it and put it back in line and now I have strong fumes in one of my bathrooms. Any thoughts?

Im new to septic tanks. I have a brand new septic tank and from time to time I smell a foul smell coming from the candy cane shaped pvc pipe lol. I do have someone coming out to install a charcoal filter. My land is dry, no gurgling, and nothing backing up.

I bought a house 4 yrs ago that I discovered that Fall has this issue. It’s absolutely disgusting and it’s been driving me crazy! I tried the charcoal filter, all that did was force the gas into the living space of the house. I read something about putting a cup of baking soda down a toilet once a week and that might help neutralize the gas. I’ve never been so frustrated, seems like it will never get resolved..

Pumper Dude, Why are the odors stronger when it rains?

When temps drop really low we get sewer gas smell in house how can we eliminate this

Can this gas pumped into burner to heat water?

Sir is your company in GA? My mother has packed up all of our things because she feels there is gas escaping in the house. She smells urine, a tire shop, and a faint sweet smell in rotation 😭 I will literally hire you to come out this week to change our filter

Another channel suggests putting a rubber cap over the pipe an simply drilling a small hole in the center. As these vents only need to draw very small amounts of air. What do you think?

how does sewer work in apartments?

What if I'm getting that occasional outdoor inside the house?

Hi do use charcoal for the bag or do you need activated charcoal cheers

What if the answer is yes

Underneath our house stinks!

So pretty much you're guessing and you don't know the reason? This was a pretty useless video and you didn't provide a very solution so I probably would call someone else.

Poor presentation
