FAIL. That did not solve the problem, as it turns out. Seemed good for awhile, but now the smell is back...sadly, badly.

Remo sent plumbo. No mo' uh-oh. Now, when wife go, it doesn't smell-o ;).

Talked to remo company (on a Sunday yet). He already committed to send a plumber this week. Good people.

Yes, ceramic tile replaced vinyl. Bingo!

I believe all plumbing is vented out the roof.

My half bath just underwent a remodel, which meant replacing toilet and sink. Now, on certain days only, I get a strong septic/sewer smell. (I have septic.) It comes and goes. I don't know if I have a septic problem or a plumbing/install problem. How can I figure this out so I know whether to...

This problem is ongoing. Anyone else have an idea on a fix, short of jack hammering the concrete slab over the pipe to replace it?

Taps are in regular use, so I assume they are not dry. Maybe relation to the septic pump is just coincidental. Or, do I need to check (or have someone check, more likely) the stack? Maybe opening the septic tank altered airflow in the stack in some way that caused some debris already there to...

First, let me apologize for not responding to earlier questions. For some reason I wasn't getting reply notices. Hmm. Maybe it is related to the water heater situation.:D To answer, the faucet is a single, so I'd say that rules out the aerator, since cold water runs full pressure. The hot water...

I had my septic tank pumped out. Since then, we have sewer gas around a bathroom sink, under the kitchen sink and, perhaps, in the dishwasher. Is there anything about having a septic tank pumped that could cause this?

I asked my HVAC guys if they do plumbing. "Only water heaters," was the answer. Good, that is what I needed. A water heater replacement. After they did the job, I noticed that hot water to the kitchen sink is now about half pressure. I seem to have full hot water pressure to every place else in...
