Question: This morning we noticed a strong sewer smell outside our house and in the kitchen. All the plumbing is brand new as of three months ago the smell was not in the area of the septic system. What areas should I check first?
Answer: I would contact the plumber that did the installation 3 months ago. Could be a few things, but my first thought is a broken underground pipe.
