We have a developing septic odor problem in our walkout basement level. It comes and goes. We thought it was coming from the full bath down there and so we ran all the faucets, in an effort to eleviate a dry trap problem. It didnt work. We are having a hard time actually locating where the smell is originating. Any ideas?

ParticipantDear Stacey,The odors may be a backup of gases from your septic tank. IF this is the case, this problem can be solved by the use of Bacteria Concepts SEPTI-MATE and SEPTI-SHOCK.When used on a regular basis, these products help to greatly reduce or eliminate bad odors from the septic tank, slows down the sludge build-up process, maintains proper biological activity of the septic tank and where applicable, keeps leach fields free-flowing.If the odors are caused by organic waste build-ups in the pipes, you can use Bacteria Concepts DB-X100 on a regular basis to keep drain free-flowing and choke free. Since the live bacteria in DB-X100 degrade the organics in the pipes, the source of bad odors is also removed.We encourage you to contact us to order some product to solve the problem.You will also received detailed instructions on how to use the product to solve any problems you may be facing.Bacteria Concepts manufactures the highest quality bacterial products on the market.
