I have a foul sewer smell in my whole townhouse and it’s now reached the upstairs but it’s mainly in the basement. My landlord has sent four sets of plumbers over here who have snaked the drain in the basement and they said that I would not have the sewer smell anymore. But the sewer smell is still here and actually it has sometime someway intensified. The plumbers and the landlord also went next-door to the neighbors to see if the smell was coming from there. What they found was a lot of dog and cat feces and urine next-door and had them clean it up. The neighbors brought out bags and bags of trash and poop. We thought the problem was settled. But it is not. In my area they’ve had to have the sewer lines redone across from me in the complex and I’m thinking that may be happening now over here. The point is the landlord won’t do anything else to get the smell out of my house. And also has offered to let me out of my lease because of the smell. I do not have money to move. And I would like it inspected to know what it is that I need to do to get this rectified in order to stay here for the next year for my lease. Is there any assistance she would be able to give me. My house smells like sewer, but the basement smells super like sewage, I’m not sure what looks like. I don’t know what’s going on. They supposedly filled in all the holes down in the basement on the washer side, but nothing is helping , I’ve got older releasing things down there. I have damp bread. I have air fresheners and baking soda and nothing is working. Could I please have some help thank you.
