Default Smelly Basement Drain

Just pour a little bleach/water mix into it every so often. Sounds like the

All,


I have noticed that my basement seems to smell horrible every so
often. I think I have traced the smell to the drain in my basement.
While I was down there the other day, I heard it "gurgling" after my
wife had been running the kitchen faucet for a few minutes.


Is there any type of drain cover I can get that will eliminate the
smell, yet allow the drain to remain functional? The basement is
finished, and I have a sump pump that runs frequently. Also, the
moisture from the A/C flows into the drain, so I can't just plug the
drain.


Any help would be great!


Thanks,

That and check your roof vent if it is gurgling air is getting trapped
and can't get out
