Hi,
We have a mobile home out here in the country and on certain days the oder from the roof sewer vents covers the area around the house.
We are in a sorta bowl you could say, surrounded by trees, sorta cuts into the cross breezes. I’m figuring that must be why we have the oder hanging around, I raised the vent stacks higher, in hopes of allowing the oder to be carried away easier, a total of about 2 feet off the roof.
Still no luck, we have a septic system, it’s 4 years old, pumped every two years, what can we do to cut back on the oder? Without having to cut the trees down to get a better cross breeze, some of the trees are 80 feet tall, this of course is what I’m assuming is the cause of the problems??
The guy who pumped the tank told us that was normal, seeing as how we are set-up here in the woods, he said your in a bowl of trees, and when you get a breeze it just sorta swirls the wind around and carries the oder all over the place.
Any ideas, or does that sound about right?? The vents are all clear, no plumbing problems that we could find. What should i do? Extend the roof vents? I’d hate to have 80 foot roof vents on my house.:):):)
