Bad Smell Coming From Pipes

We have this awful smell coming from our pipe area. It is in our laundry room but is not coming from our laundry pipes. We recently had a plumber come out and run a camera through and nothing was found. It is so bad that we do not invite anyone over, and we're actually thinking about selling our house after only 6 months. We are out of ideas to where this might be coming from. We have a sewer line that is brand new. Someone please help! Jenna from Levittown, PA

I think you should call your plumber back, I can hardly believe he didn't saw anything wrong here. The smell has to come somewhere, maybe there is a clog and he didn't see it. You still have time to fix the problem. Good luck!

Is it possible there had been a leak before that was fixed, but maybe there is some mold or something growing? Maybe the wood is rotted around the pipe from something? Just a thought.

Hello,
Please remember that you must disclose any problems with your house to a new buyer. If you don't, and they have the same problem come up, they can sue you for damages. Please call your local sewer/garbage company for any information they might offer. Good luck

Well its not all the pipes, its only coming from our laundry area where there is access to underneath the tub.

I agree, hot, boiling water down the toilets and drains. You can add Dawn dish soap or some other cleaner of your choice. Continue adding boiling water down the drains and toilets at regular intervals.
