Sewer smell from washing machine overflow
Can anyone tell me the possible reasons for an awful (sewer) smell coming
from the overflow pipe for my washing machine? Had the septic tank pumped 2 years ago. IS this a line that could get plugged and something I could/should snake out? Any insghts are appreciated. |

Is there an empty trap that is allowing gas to enter your home? |

If so, is water always in it or does it go so long between uses that the water evaporates & lets sewer gases back in? |
