We live in a 20 year old double-wide and just had a new septic system installed. the old system had collapsed lines. The old tank was about 50 feet from the house, but the new tanks are close to the house (about 5 feet away) and since the installation of the new system we get a terrible odor of sewer gas out of the plumbing vents on the roof. We never had this odor before.
I talked to the installer, and he didn't have a clue as to why it would start doing that.
I have room under the house to install a "J"trap in the 4-inch line. I could fabricate one and install it, but would it cause problems with the toilets?
I'm thinking that, if it wouldn't cause any problems, the water trapped in the trap would prevent the tanks from venting back thru the house venting system.
It is sometimes unbearable to be outside on the down wind side of the house.
