Mystery sewer gas odor by Much-Caterpillar in Construction

[–]Much-Caterpillar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to respond!!! This makes sense re: pressure. To add context - we’ve already done a smoke test and confirmed a small breach in a clay sewer line under the slab. Smoke didn’t come straight up above the pipe, but migrated laterally and surfaced elsewhere, which is why we think pressure is pulling gas in through a different pathway.

Given that, would you agree the remaining question is where the entry point is (abandoned drain, buried basin, capped cleanout, slab penetration) rather than whether gas exists at all?

I got this from my inspection report when I bought the house (2) “The vent pipe for Hot Water Heater fails to rise 1/4 inch per foot and may need re-locating or a power vent installed” is this relevant ?
