Sewer Gas Smell In House Knowledge Base
Sewer gas smell in my basement and house? I have a very strong sewer smell in my basement and house. We just moved into a house built in 1875. The drains in the basement lead to a septic tank. When we first moved in, the drains continually backed up. Last week, we had a plumber dig up a line and replace a bad stretch of PVC. He also added a trap (it didn't have one before). So we still have one drain without a trap. Since the plumber fixed the line, we haven't had any more backups, but the smell is absolutely horrible! Before the 'fix', we never noticed any smell except for when it backed up. Now, it's a constant strong odor. Any ideas? Sugguestions? Thanks in advance. Great advice! I poured water into all drains in the basement, and capped any drain without a trap, and the smell is nearly gone. I still need to check the vent, but so far so good. I really appreciate your answers. Thanks.
Could this be the cause of my sewer gas problem? This pipe is sticking out of the ground next to my house and as you can see, has a crack in it. I believe it is the cleanout, where you can access the sewer pipe to clear blockages. I've been having a problem lately with a sewer gas smell in my house, below the staircase (and I would have to open up the dry wall to be able to get under the staircase). It's been a problem for awhile and the sewer smell seems to worsen in the colder months of the year. You can smell it ocassionally in the warmer weather but not nearly as much. So my question is, could the crack in this pipe be the reason why I'm smelling sewer gas in my house? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t26/neays/Pipe2.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t26/neays/Pipe1.jpg No septic tank. I'm on city sewer and there is no basement in my house either.
Sewer Gas Smell Coming From Washing Machine Drain Pipe? I bought a high efficiency washer in the house I recently purchased, which was built in 1998. 3 months after I bought the washer, strong sewer gas smell coming from washing machine drain pipe. Things to note: I have city sewer, I don't have a basement, washer is on first floor so I don't have a floor drain, I use the washer once a week, and I don't know for sure if I have a trap on the drain pipe because it is behind the wall. After each wash, I pour water down the drain pipe. That has helped the sewer gas smell but it is still there. It is worse at night and the day after I use the washing machine, the smell comes back. The smell is now steadily worsening and getting stronger. I had a plumber over to my house and all he did was pull the drain hose further out of the drain pipe. Otherwise, he was clueless as to how to fix the sewer gas smell. Can anyone knowledgeable on this subject help me?
Sewer gas smell when running attic fan? When we run our attic fan (also called whole house fan) we get this ghastly smell coming up from our finished basement. It 'seems' to be coming from the bathroom where we removed a shower. We put a small raised platform over the old shower drain-I thought this might be the problem, removed a board, poured bleach down the drain, but it didn't work. the smell is so bad in the basement that you literally get sick to your stomach and it isn't the best upstairs either. Does anyone have any ideas on what this might be caused by? It did not do this when we first moved in and didn't do it right after we removed the shower. my dh seems to think that the p-trap is dry? others i've asked think say they don't think that sounds right? Thanks so much in advance!
Sewer Gas Smell coming from roughed in plumbing? We own a house where the previous owners started the plumbing for their wet bar. We had a plumber come and cap off the pipe that was supposed to be used for the bar sink. We noticed a strange smell coming from the area of the exposed pipe. We went a cut up our basement rug and subfloor to find that there were four other pipes. Currently, one of the holes in that area has a backflow valve (with a ping pong ball to stop the water from coming up the pipe) The other pipe is open and just to the right of the one hole. We dumped water down into the pipe and the hole and it appears to have stopped the smell, but the water has not run down at all. Is this normal?
What would make a house smell like there's a natural gas leak when there isn't even gas supplied to the house? I made sure that there are no propane BBQ grill tanks inside the house. All of my Butane canisters for my torch are in the garage, and the garage doesn't smell. I double checked all of our drains to see if it was sewer gas including the one in the floor in the basement. I even poured bleach water in all of them in case there was bacteria. I've also know what it smells like when there is a dead animal in the wall or attic, and it's not that..... Any suggestions?
why do i smell sewer gas? my house is pretty old lately we have been smelling sewer gas in the house our drains are used regulary although there are no traps no breaks in any pipes and no standing water outside and all drains including the toilet work fine (no back up) i notice the smell strongest in the basement no visable leaks there is one vent that comes out of the side of my house and one vent coming out of the ground from the tank. i flushed the vent coming from the tank and was unable to get my snake in the vent in the side of the house one thing i noticed was that we did not have a problem until the weather changed as we live in new york and its cold here could it be as simple as weather change or is there something else wrong i dont really know the size of the tank as we just moved here 2 yrs ago or is it that the tank is getting full as i said there are no sighns of back up can anyone give me any advice
Why did sewer gas smell disappear after using central air? We have had a sewer gas smell in basement that circulates throughout entire house through the air returns. This has been going on for at least three years This year it was unbearable. Every time we did laundry the entire house stunk. I have had 2 plumbers come and they could not figure it out. We have made holes in walls looking for holes in vent pipes. Flushed vent pipes. Done pepermint test etc. Then the heat wave came and we turned on the central air. NO SEWER GAS SMELL! We are doing loads and loads of laundry and no smell anywhere in the house. We keep the air on because this prevents the smell. Does anyone understand what is going on here? I do not want to spend any more money for confused plumbers.
Sewer gas smell and no trap.? I have a water outlet for a washer in my new house but the idiots who installed it didn't put a trap in there to prevent sewer gas. (wasn't able to discover it until a year after i bought the house and got a washer). Is there any way, other than ripping out the walls to redo the pipes, to put some sort of trap ? Thanks!
I have a strange odor from the upstairs shower. It does not smell like sewer gas, but more like chemicals.? The house has original plumbing and stack from the 1930s. The smell is like perm solution that you would smell at a hair salon. The smell seems to come and go. It is the most used bathroom, so it is not a case of water evaporating from the trap. The bathroom is adjacent to a seldomly used guest bath, but the guest bath smells fine. The rest of the plubing in the house also smells fine. The bathroom with the odor is on the second story. Any clues?
Sewer gas problem? Help!? Sewer gas smell coming from where the washing machine hose drains out. The whole house smells, help!! What's wrong? What do I do?
I have sewer gas coming from sink drain? I smell sewer gas in the sink drain.It looks as though the sink waste pipe has not been vented it just drains.could this be the reason.The trap has water in it and is leveled correctly.Its an older house so it has a ceramic sewer with no sewer trap and drains into a septic tank.Any suggestions?
So could this fix my sewer gas problem? Vent inside house?plz help!? Here is the question I asked yesterday:i have a really bad smell around my washing machine and dryer. Sometimes it smells and sometimes it doesnt. It has been happening for years. It even smelled sometimes when my washer was brand new. It also did it with my old washer. It is the worst it has been. I feel dizzy like it is making me sick. It is a terrible smell. We have pulled the washer out and cant see any mold or wet walls. We washed all the dirty clothes and that cant be it. It is smelling up my entire home. Thanks. Well we took a look at the drain pipe and there is a trap but there is also a vent pipe leaking sewer gas in the house. My dad says there is a end that lets air in but wont let any out and that will fix it (there was no end on the vent pipe and it doesnt go out the roof it is in my house) my dad called the part a airless vent. I am wondering if it is safe not to have the vent outside and have it inside with one of those pieces on the end. Please help.
Just moved into house with a natural gas fireplace in basement. 2 Questions...? a. There were no instructions provided for the fireplace so we don't even know how to turn it on. (There's a switch on the wall and some sort of button/dial on the top of the fireplace.) Would the gas company be able to tell us how the fireplace works? b. We don't plan on using the fireplace often (if ever really), but we've only lived here a week and the real question is that a few times I've noticed a faint gas smell in the basement (mostly only in the middle of the night [my bedroom's there] which seems a little funny because the playroom, computer and laundry room are there too so I'm in the basement lots.) Like I said, I'm new to the house and I don't want to overreact... I don't know if it's sewer gas from the laundry room or natural gas from the fireplace or just a different smell in a house that I'm not quite used to. Is it a good idea to get gas fireplaces checked periodically? I have a CO2 detector... should I put it in the basement? Never had a fireplace before. Thanks
Unknown smell in my house? We bought a house in Febuary 2007. It is an older house, built in the 20's. We started noticing a smell coming from the back bedroom of our house, within days of moving in. To me it smells like a sewer gas leak. I have found out from neighbors that the people living here before us had the same problem. This smell comes & goes at least once a day. It doesn't stay all day, I can get rid of it if I open the windows and air out the house, then after closing the windows it will not stink again until sometime the next day or day after that. It is only in the back room. The kitchen and bathroom walls all connect to this bedroom. I've had three different plumbing companys come out to check all plumbing,some plumbing company's have come out more than once.They all say something different and fix something but the smell is back the very next day. Some of the plumbers have just said they have no idea what it is. I have one baby and a 3 year old & I'm worried itcould be harmful to my children!
Why does my house smell of cat urine when I have no pets? I am a very clean housekeeper. And a very clean person. And have NEVER had a horrible smell in my house as I do now. I have no pets, esp NO cats or kittens or fish or anything. I didnt buy anything new, or use a new cleaner or anything. And last night about 2am I started smelling a horrible cat pee smell. I took out my garbage, got rid of all my dirty laundry and checked everything in the house. And none of that was the sourse of the smell. I checked all of the gas lines and pipes for the sewer stuff and nothing is leaking or seems to be the sourse. Why would my house smell like cat pee/amonia? Has this ever happened to anyone before?
How do you find source of septic tank (sewer) gas and how do you get rid of it? We have been having problems with smelling sewer gas in a seldom used bathroom. We just got back home (having been gone for about a week) and the smell is out side AND inside the house. We live in the country and are on a septic system (house built in 1978). Is this dangerous (until we can get this fixed)? My 8 month pregnant daughter is due to come Saturday and stay the week-end. Is this a danger to her or her baby (or other chldren)? I've never had a septic system and am concerned. Thank you.
How can I fix a sewer smell in my basement? I just bought a house in July 2008 and it was built in 1974 - I have a septic tank. Occasionally the basement smells like sewer gas, but not all the time. I noticed that the basement smells like sewer gas at different times, sometimes for no reason, and smelled when the downstairs shower is used and when it rains (sometimes). The two drains in the basement floor also do not drain - the water does not come to the top, but I can see it sitting in it. I tried to put Drano in them and then flushed it out, that's how I noticed that. Another thing I've noticed is that the toilets function just fine, but when I was cleaning and dumped water from a bucket into it, the toilet did not go down as it is supposed to. Do you think Drano and toilet Drano will do the job if I put it in all the drains and the toilets? And keep doing Rid-X treatments? Or does this sound like something serious I should call Roto Rooter or another professional to do the job? Please tell me I can do this myself - I do not have the money right now as I just bought the house. Thank you for your help.
Radon gas? We just moved into this old house in June. I can smell sewer gas in the kitchen quite frequently. My brother said it might be radon gas. Does he know what he's talking about or should I be concerned? And if I need to get a testing kit, are there free kits available?
???? about a possible gas leak in my basement? On sunday night i smelled what i thought was gas in my basment bathroom so i called the gas people. They came out and found a small leak in the laundry room where the water heater/furience is. Which they siad the fixed. I might ad that my laundry room and basment bathroom are right next to each other. So last night i smell the same strong gas smell in my bathroom so i called the gas man agian and they checked everything and all he found was a small leak in the dryer hose which he fixed, but he said the leak was so small it would not have been able to smell it. Then today i have smell the same thing 2 diff. times... and i have checked the rest of the house and its only in my bathroom. I dont know what else to do. Somebody told me it might be sewer gas but i have no clue they smell the same to me. I really dont want to blow up so if anyone has any advice that would be great.
Just how dangerous is sewer gas? Ok, my husband and I are renting a home and we have 3 little boys under the age of 3. We have a full upstairs bathroom and a tiny bathroom downstairs that just has a toilet. The toilet in the tiny bathroom has been having some problems flushing lately so the landlord came to look at it. He couldn't figure out the problem so he took the whole toilet out of the bathroom. He stuffed a towel part way down the pipe that was left open and said he would be back next week either with a new toilet or the fixed old one. Now, what concerns me is sewer gas. I have heard from some that it can be deadly, and I have also heard that you would have to breathe it in for a very long time for it to even make you sick. With 2 toddlers and an infant in the house, I need to know the truth about sewer gas. This bathroom I am talking about is only about 3 1/2 feet wide and 5 feet long, very small. So if I open that bathroom door, is it going to let out a whole bunch of sewer gas that could possibly make our family sick? I am really worried about this, since the landlord won't be back to do anything til next week. He told us when he left that if we smelled the gas to just put some more towels over the hole. But I'm not convinced that that would stop the gas from leaking out of the pipe. Please help!
Sewer gas - We've had two plumbers out and they can't figure out the problem.? The first time they came they found an open pipe against the wall that was never capped under the crawl space that had been open for 2 years since we remodeled. Then we rerouted the sewage drain so it wouldn't run into our creek by the farm and after they did this that's when this smell started and it hasn't stopped since Thanksgiving. We've had 2 plumbers come and they can't figure out how it's getting in - I'm thinking - if we lived with an open sewer pipe for 2 years (but never smelled anything) and when they rerouted the pipes underground is when the smell started - it has something to do with that but why can't two plumbers figure it out - in the meantime it smells like rotten eggs in our house and I'm wondering what this will do to our health?
Complained about foul odor in house 4 year&landlord say there no odor-maybe pee on floor. Sewer pipe broken.? Year ago sent plumber out and told me that plumber say nothing wrong. plumber told me that work on pipes needed to be done. about 1200 worth.Kept complain and told him that air purifier expense coming out of rent. He sent plumber out again FINALLY!!!! and they found all the sewer pipes under house broken open, we subjected to methane gas and toxic waste fumes. can I sue this jerk cuz he knew this whole time. had to put us in hotel for week and half and torn floor out of bathroom-got ditch digger to get clear out to street cuz pipes broken all the way down and i also had been getting eye infections 4 not reason. symptom of expose toxic gases. the clinic said it was a chemical burn. had this a few times. kids were sick to the stomache and I am upset about the way he tried to say it was my fault and that there was no such smell. Now he is trying to evict for back rent when I was in hospital 4 several months and we made agreement that I could catch up when I got bonus check and now cuz of all this mess he give 3day notice to evict. I don't want to stay here but I want to be able to find a place first instead of his stupid 3day crap. He said on tuesday that he selling the house and that I would have to speak to new owners in order to stay. the new owners never contacted me with letter or phone call or nothing, so if he sold house how can he be trying to evict me? also the 3 day notice on door was supposedly from the new owners saying I owe back rent and I don't owe them a dime. don't even know them. all this happened on tuesday. He is a liar a fat mouth and the truth anit in him. Help. thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
Sewer Gas coming from Vent Pipe? New Septic & New Plumbing, Everything in the house works but the Vent Pipe at top of roof must be emitting odors as we smell it when outside. The pipe is up high, Everything is new including leech field and septic and all the pvc pipe, I never smelled it before when it came out of the old metal one on the roof. The ground is perfect yard - over septic for two years - the odor is up in the air from the vent - after we use water. Is isn't going away and we never notice it at anyone elses homes.
How can I get rid of the sewage odor in my house?!? My husband and I just bought a house and there is horrible sewage smell that comes and goes in our bedroom. We've been in the house for about a week and noticed it the second night we slept here. It comes from a specific corner of the bedroom. On the other side of the wall from the smell is the bathroom toilet, and in the crawl space the main sewage line that leads to the city main and a sewer vent. When we first moved in we had blockage in the sewer lines and we had a plumber out (through our home warranty) to clear the lines. Since the lines have been cleared I called the home warranty back and had them send the plumber back because of the smell. The plumber said that it is gas from the vent coming in through the window. He also said that I just have to live with it! That is not okay. No one should have to live with the smell of sewage in their bedroom. We do not believe that it is coming in through the window. What should we do -call home warranty again?!
Septic tank gas leaking into house? I rent the first floor of a house that has been converted into apts. The Saturday before last, our landlord had the septic tank pumped or adjusted in same way. Upon doing so, the gases filled up the basement. The comp. who did the work said they would dissipate within a day. Instead, it started to get worse. The smell is now filling up our apt. We told the landlord about it and he sent over his fix-it man (not from the sewer comp) and he dumped bleach down the great and tried a new cap. The smell disappeared for about half a day and today it's as bad--at times worse--as usual. The guy came over and dumped more bleach and the landlord said the company would come Friday since tomorrow is a holiday. So I want to know--just how dangerous are these gases? What are our rights? Should we go stay in a hotel? (we have three pets so that's a problem) PS It's not a fecal smell..it's more like a musty, dirty smell--kinda like cow manure.
Plumbing: Does a drain for a bathroom sink have to approach from the back of the sink? OR can I re-route the drain to enter from the side? My bathroom sink is located in a corner with the back to an outside wall. The builders installed the the drain pipe to come up through an interior wall to the right hand side and turn the corner 90 degrees to get into the outside wall so that the drain could approach the sink from the back. This sink clogs constantly due to all the angles - I have to remove the trap and clean the pipe in the wall every four months and the smell from the pipe clog is horrible, like straight sewer gas. I would like to know that if I tear off the drywall and route the drain to come from the interior wall straight to the drain, to remove the 90 degree turn in the outside wall, if it would still meet code? http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/464/sinkrf2.jpg In the picture the Pink represents the CURRENT drain and the white tape represents what I want to do. the house was built in 1979 and I don't know what they were thinking when they did this.
Bad smell in home? Help, I rented a house and there is a very bad oder when you first walk in.I have tried sprays.I clean very good,left windows open,checked for leaky pipes and done everything I can think of to get rid of the smell.We even had the owner check for sewer gasses but to no satisfaction.This smell is driving me crazy because I feel that if anyone comes to visit it's the first thing that hits them.Does anyone know any sollutions for this problem.My next step is to buy an air purifier but I really don't know what type to buy or if it would even work. PLEASE any suggestions would be helpful as to how to get rid of the smell or of type of air purifier that is not too expensive that you know that works on oders.Thanks for any help
PLUMBING QUESTION: sewage smell coming up from drain? Hello- I have a long house. On the furthest end from the sewer line is the master bath, then there is a bathroom in the middle of the house, and then a bathroom at the other end for a total of three. I believe the master bath and middle bath are on the same sewage pipe, then it hits a junction to take it out. The other bath is on the other side of that junction. The middle bath is the one that has the sewer smell coming up from the bath drain the worst, the sink drain, and I believe maybe the toilet, too, although the smell is sometimes so strong it is hard to tell about the toilet. I have been closing the drains at all times to try to keep the smell at bay, but I am unsure as what to do. I am wondering if the sewage that is getting flushed from the master is sitting in the pipe for awhile (because the house is so long and it's really not a powerful flush by any means) and those gases are coming up through the traps? Do I need bigger traps for the middle bath? This is a newer house. We have been in it for about 2.5 years, and this has been a marked problem since last summer. Some basic info. I have city sewer and well water. My house is 76 ft long. HELP! My clean house stinks!!
sewer gasses? i have a septic tank at home .. have gone over everything .. traps , vents, etc .. still get bad smells on one end of the house by the kids bathroom only ..... i was wondering if over use could cause the smell to back up in the house .. the kids have an awful lot of friends over all day and they are constantly flushing and using the bathroom... is this to much for the septic system to handle???? where would i find the trap under the house... is it the main drain pipie for the whole house??? this problem comes and goes ... it might be days or a couple weeks with no smell then suddenly it is there .. and it only seems to come late in the evening and is real bad early in the morning ... the rest of the day .. say after 10 in the morning there is no smell
Farting like a trooper? Please help me. I cannot stop farting. By this I don't mean silly little chuffing farts that happen at random from time to time. I mean great, honking, soul destroying terrible fetid smelling farts that start from the moment I wake up until the moment I sleep. I also wake myself up in the night from the sound of my loud, gas pumping bottom action. My house smells like a giant sewer and my neighbors comment that they believe I must have a open sewer somewhere beneath my flat that needs fixing. I have tried changing my diet, exercise lifestyle over the years but things have continued to get steadily worse until recently I have been fired from my job. (My boss said that no-one was prepared to work with me.) I tried going to my GP but he said that it was just "one of those things" and then he rushed me out of his office as quickly as possible. Please help me to end my bottom pumping ways and turn over a fartless new leaf.
Toilet fumes....? Ok, so the source of said sewer gas fumes is highly questioned. (in the bathroom that recently had the toilet's wax ring replaced) Also my sense of smell is questionable. I just quit smoking and I can smell EVERYTHING! Other members of the house wonder if I only think I'm smelling something that's been there all along. They don't smell it. How can we test for sewer gas fumes in the bathroom? Light a match?! We need something scientific and concrete. The whole debate is in avoidance of paying too much for a plumber to come say there is nothing wrong.
Bathroom question, reworded? There are sewer gases/foul odor coming from the drains in my 2nd floor bathroom. Bathroom is used on a daily bases, the sinks don't leak , the toilet has no water leaking around the base. The shower stall smells the worst. I have tried vingar, bleach, draino,etc. The house has 5 full baths and I don't know if the vent is blocked. Any suggestions? Thax
Excessive Flatulence? I have a bit of a problem. I unfortunatly have excessive gas, blowing out non-stop. My wife can't take it anymore, she says the house smells like an open sewer pipe. Short of excusing myself, hanging my ass out the window or front door and blowing it out there...what should I do?

So I asked my sister what to give him and she said a tuna sandwich. I can't give Pudge tuna! Do you know what tuna is? Fish? It's fish! If I gave Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter 'cause all we have is-is stinkin' tuna! Lilo, Lilo, why is this so important? Pudge controls the weather. You're crazy. Please! Please! Everybody calm down! Girls... Shh. Lilo... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! Maybe we should call your sister. No! I'll be good! I want to dance. I practiced. I just want to dance. I practiced. Ooh, she bit me. Eww! I called your sister. She said to wait for her here on the porch. We'll try again on Sunday. Does this look infected to you? Yeah. You better not have rabies. If you have rabies the dogcatcher is going to have to cut... Are you going to play dolls? You don't have a doll. This is Scrump. I made her, but her head is too big. So I pretend a bug laid eggs in her ears, and she's upset because she only has a few more days to... Lilo! Lilo? Lilo? Oh, no. You better be home. Hey! Watch where you're going! Stupidhead! I found a new place to dwell... Oh, Lilo! Lilo! Open the door, Lilo! Go away. ...You make me so lonely, baby... Lilo? We don't have time for this. ...I get so lonely... Leave me alone to die. Come on, Lilo that social worker's going to be here any minute! ...You still can find some room For brokenhearted lovers to cry away their gloom Don't make me so lonely, baby Don't make me so lonely I get so lonely I could die... The bellhop's tears keep flowin'... You are so finished when I get in there! Well, they been so long on Lonely Street They ain't ever gonna look back... Oh, I'm going to stuff you in the blender push puree, then bake you into a pie and feed it to the social worker! And when he says, Mmm, this is great. What's your secret? I'm going to say... Love... and nurturing. Hi. Uh... You must be the, uh... The stupidhead. Oh! Oh... Oh, you know, I'm really sorry about that and if I'd known who you were, of course I never would've... Uh... I can pay for that. It's a rental. Are you the guardian in question? Yes. I'm Nani. Nice to meet you, Mister...? Bubbles. Mr. Bubbles. That's a strange... Yes, I know. Are you going to invite me in, Nani? Uh... I thought we could sit out here and talk. I don't think so. Right. Uh... ...It's always crowded... This way. ...You still can find some room For brokenhearted lovers to cry away their gloom You make me so lonely, baby... Uh... wait here. Hey! So... lemonade? Do you often leave your sister home alone? No. Never. Well, except forjust now. Uh, I had to run to the store to get some... Oh! You left the stove on while you were out? Low heat! Just a simmer. Mmm! It's coming along great. I found that this morning. Lilo! There you are. Honeyface... this is Mr. Bubbles. Nice to meet you. Your knuckles say Cobra. Cobra Bubbles. You don't look like a social worker. I'm a special classification. Did you ever kill anyone? We're getting off the subject. Let's talk about you. Are you happy? I'm adjusted. I eat four food groups and look both ways before crossing the street and take long naps, and get disciplined. Disciplined? Yeah. She disciplines me real good. Sometimes five times a day. -With bricks. -No... Bricks? Uh-huh, in a pillowcase. Okay! That's enough sugar for you. Why don't you run along, you little cutie. The other social workers just thought she was a scream. Thirsty? Let me illuminate to you the precarious situation in which you have found yourself. I am the one they call when things go wrong and things have indeed gone wrong. My friends need to be punished. Call me next time you're left here alone. Yep. In case you're wondering, this did not go well. You have three days to change my mind. -Blah. -Eww! Lilo! Why didn't you wait at the school? You were supposed to wait there! Lilo! Do you not understand? Do you want to be taken away? Answer me! No! No, you don't understand? No! No, what? No! You're such a pain! So why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead?! At least a rabbit would behave better than you! Go ahead! Then you'll be happy because it'll be smarter than me, too! And quieter! You'll like it, 'cause it's stinky, like you! Go to your room! I'm already in my room! Hey. I brought you some pizza, in case you were hungry. We're a broken family, aren't we? No. Maybe, a little. Maybe a lot. I shouldn't have yelled at you. We're sisters. It's ourjob. Yeah, well, from now on... I like you better as a sister than a mom. Yeah? And you like me better as a sister than a rabbit, right? Oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh. Yes. Yes, I do. I hit Mertle Edmonds today. You hit her? Before I bit her. You bit her. Lilo, you shouldn't... People treat me different. They just don't know what to say. I'll tell you what. If you promise not to fight anymore I promise not to yell at you, except on special occasions. Tuesdays and bank holidays would be good. Yeah? Would that be good? Oh! My camera's full again. Aren't they beautiful? A falling star! I call it! Get out! Get out! I have to make a wish! Can't you go any faster? Oh, no! Gravity is increasing on me. No, it's not! It is, too, Lilo. The same thing happened yesterday. You rotten sister! Your butt is crushing me! Why do you act so weird?! It's me again. I need someone to be my friend... someone who won't run away. Maybe send me an angel... the nicest angel you have. What we when hit? There it is. It stay jammed under the fender. We better call somebody. We're looking for something that can defend itself... something that won't die... something sturdy, you know? Like a lobster. Lilo, you lolo. Do we have a lobster door? No. We have a dog door. We are getting a dog. So nice to see your pretty face again! Jumba? We need your name and address at the bottom of the form... The kennel's back this way. Go. Pick someone out. Hello? Hello?! Are there any aminals in here? Hello! Hi. Hoh... ha... Hi... Wow! Oh, yes. Mm-hmm. All of our dogs are adoptable. Except that one! What is that thing?! A dog, I think. But it was dead this morning. It was dead this morning?! Well, we thought it was dead. It was hit by a truck. I like him! Come here, boy. Oh! Aah! Wouldn't you like a different dog? We have better dogs, dear. Not better than him. He can talk! Say hello. He... Hel... Dogs can't talk, dear. He did. Does it have to be this dog? Yes, he's good. I can tell. You'll have to think of a name for him. His name is... Stitch. Now, that's not a real name... Hmm. Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh. ...in Iceland... but here, it's a good name. Stitch it is. And there's a two dollar license fee. I want to buy him! Can I borrow two dollars? He's all yours. You're all mine. Well, what's he doing? Shh! Keep quiet. He's listening for us. How good is his hearing? I mean, can he... Why don't you run? Coming! I'm coming! Stop! I have just determined this situation to be far too hazardous! Don't worry, I won't hit her. No! That girl is a part of the mosquito food chain. Here! Educate yourself. Using a little girl for a shield. This is low, even for you! Whoo-hoo! Bah! Tear him apart with all both my bare hands! Have you lost your mind?! What is it, Stitch? We cannot be seen! Bad dog, barking at nothing! You can't shoot, and you can't be seen. Look at you! You look like a monster. We have to blend in. Okay, I got to get to work. Stick around town and stay out of the roads, okay? I'll meet you at : . Hmm? Oh! Ah! Okay, I guess we should be going. What about Stitch? My friends! What do you want? I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair and punched you in the face. Apology not accepted. Now get out of my way before I run you over. I got a new dog. His name is Stitch. That is the ugliest thing I have ever saw. -Yeah. -Yeah. Eww! Get it away from me! I'm gonna get a disease! Somebody do something! Oh, great! He's loose. His destructive programming is taking effect. He will be irresistibly drawn to large cities where he will back up sewers reverse street signs and steal everyone's left shoe. It's nice to live on an island with no large cities. Are you okay? Doo-doo... Doo-doo... You can shake an apple off an apple tree Shake-a, shake-a, sugar, but you'll never shake me -Uh-uh-uh -Doo-doo-doo No, siree, uh-uh... Uh-uh. ...Doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo I'm gonna stick like glue Stick because I'm... Stuck on you I'm gonna run my fingers Through your long, black hair... Hey, over here, little buddy. ...Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear -Uh-uh-uh -Doo-doo-doo Yes, siree, uh-huh Doo-doo-doo, Doo-doo-doo I'm gonna stick like glue Stick because I'm... Stuck on you Hide in the kitchen Hide in the hall Ain't gonna do you no good at all 'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side... When you're ready to give up just let us know, heh? Whee! ...Uh-uh-uh... Yeah! This is you. This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We have to fix that. Ay-yi-yi, Lilo! Your dog cannot sit at the table. Stitch is troubled. He needs desserts. Oh, you didn't even eat your sweet potato. I thought you liked them. Desserts! David! I got a new dog. Oh! You sure it's a dog? Uh-huh. He used to be a collie before he got ran over. Yum! Hey... Blah! Eww! Howzit, Nani? Did you catch fire again? Nah, just the stage. Listen, I was wondering if you're not doing anything this... David, I told you, I can't. I... I got a lot to deal with right now. I know. I just figured you might need some time... You smell like a lawn mower. Look, I got to go. The kid at table three's throwing poi again. Maybe some other time, okay? Don't worry. She likes your butt and fancy hair. I know. I read her diary. She thinks it's fancy? Blech! Oh! Mmm! Aha! Look what I find! Get restraints! Right. Ow! Take that! Hurry! Uh, hold still just a... Aah! Hey, Nani! Is that your dog? Uh... All is well. Please, go about your business. I'm okay. Oh, your head looks swollen. Actually, she's just ugly. Darling... He's joking. Ugly-- look at me... Uh, this is not working out. Uh, b-but... Mm-mm. Yeah? Well, who wants to work at this stupid... fakey luau anyway. Come on, Lilo. Did you lose yourjob because of Stitch and me? Nah. The manager's a vampire and he wanted me to join his legion of the undead. I knew it. This is a great home. You'll like it a lot. See? Uh, Lilo... Comfy. -Hey! -Hey! What is the matter with you? Be careful of the little angel! It's not an angel, Lilo. I don't even think it's a dog. We just have to take him back. He's just cranky because it's his bedtime. He's creepy, Lilo. I won't sleep while he's loose in the house. You're loose in the house all the time and I sleep just fine! Hey, what are you doing? Stop that, Stitch! Hey! Look at him, Lilo. He's obviously mutated from something else. We have to take him back. He was an orphan and we adopted him! What about O'hana? He hasn't been here that long. Neither have I. Dad said O'hana means family. Huh? O'hana means family. Family means... ...nobody gets left behind. Or...? Or forgotten. I know. I know. I hate it when you use O'hana against me. Mmm. Don't worry, you can sleep right next to me. Look how curious the puppy is. This is my room, and this is your bed. This is your dolly and bottle. See? Doesn't spill. I filled it with coffee. Good puppy. Now get into bed. Hey! That's mine! Down! Mmm! Be careful of that! You don't touch this! Don't ever touch it! No! Don't pull on her head! She's recovering from surgery. No! That's from my blue period. Mmm... There. You know, you wreck everything you touch. Why not try and make something for a change? Ah! Wow. San Francisco. Save me! Eek! No more caffeine for you. This little girl is wasting her time. - - cannot be taught to ignore its destructive programming. Ooh! Push that over. What are you doing? Nothing! Uh, say, I want to try it on. No! Share! Let me try it! Hey! Ow! You're justjealous 'cause I'm pretty! Don't move. A mosquito has chosen me as her perch. She's so beautiful. Look, another one. And another one! Why, it's a whole flock. And they like me! They're nuzzling my flesh with their noses. Now they're, um, they're.... I think it might be a koala. An evil koala. I can't even pet it. It keeps staring at me, like it's going to eat me. Hello? Nani? Hello? Are you there? Now, this is interesting. What? - - was designed to be a monster but now he has nothing to destroy. You see, I never gave him a greater purpose. What must it be like to have nothing... not even memories to visit in the middle of the night? Nah! Hmm. Hmm... That's the Ugly Duckling. See? He's sad because he's all alone and nobody wants him but on this page, his family hears him crying and they find him. Then the Ugly Duckling is happy because he knows where he belongs. Hmm... Want to listen to the King? You look like an Elvis fan. Nani. Nani! Uh... yeah? Look. We can't go on together With suspicious minds... ...cious minds... ...can build our dreams... ...On suspicious minds... Heard you lost yourjob. Well, uh, actually, I just quit thatjob because, you know, the hours are just not conducive to the challenges of raising a child... Hey! I am so sorry about that. What is that thing? That's my puppy. Really? Thus far, you have been adrift in the sheltered harbor of my patience but I cannot ignore you beingjobless. Do I make myself clear? Perfectly. And next time I see this dog I expect it to be a model citizen... capisce? Uh... yes? New job. Model citizen. Good day. You look like an angel... Mrs. Hasagawa? I'm here to answer your newspaper ad. Elvis Presley was a model citizen. ...Walk like an angel... I've compiled a list of his traits for you to practice. Number one is dancing. I can't talk now, dear. I'm waiting for someone to answer my ad. That's why I'm here. Hands on your hips. Now follow my lead. Ooh-hoo. ...You fooled me with your kisses... Ah! That's my want ad. I know! ...Heaven knows how you lied to me You're not the way... Whoa, whoa! Why is everything so dark? I am all about coffee. Let's move on to step two. ...Walk like an angel... Elvis played guitar. Here. ...Talk like an angel... Hold it like this, and put your fingers here. See? Now you try. ...and I make great cappuccinos and lattes with... I wish I could, Nani, but I just hired Teddy and with tourist season ending... Concierge-er-ing is my life. ...You look like an angel... I just love to answer phones... This is the face of romance. ...Walk like an angel... She looks like she could use some lovin'. ...Talk like an angel, but I got wise... Oh, we might have something. Good. Now kiss her. ...The devil in disguise... I'm sure Elvis had his bad days, too. I'm all about saving people? ...I thought that I was in heaven... Actually, I do think we have an opening. Really? Okay, this is it. ...But I was sure surprised... Time to bring it all together. Oh, that'd be so great! You have no idea how badly I need this job. ...The devil in your eyes You're the devil in disguise... It's all you! Knock 'em dead! ...The devil in disguise You're the devil in disguise... Don't crowd him! ...Oh, yes, you are The devil in disguise... The devil in disguise, oh, yes... Hey, knock it off! Hey, Lilo! Howzit... Nani? We've been having a bad day. Hmm... Hey, I might not be a doctor but I know that there's no better cure for a sour face than a couple of boards and some choice waves. What you think? I think that's a great idea. -Aloha e, aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e -'Ano'ai ke aloha e -'Ano'ai ke aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e 'Ano'ai ke aloha e 'Ano'ai ke aloha e...

We lost Stitch! Lilo? Lilo, look at me. Look at me, baby. Are you hurt? No. He's unconscious, but I think he's alive. David, take Lilo. This isn't what it looks like. We were... It-It's just that... I know you're trying, Nani but you need to think about what's best for Lilo... even if it removes you from the picture. I'll be back tomorrow morning for Lilo. I'm sorry. Nani? Is there something I can do? No, David. Uh, I need to take Lilo home now. We have a lot to talk about, Lilo. Thanks. You know, I really believed they had a chance. Then you came along. Lilo, honey... we have to, uh... Don't worry. You're nice, and someone will give you a job. I would. Come here. Aloha Oe, Aloha Oe E ke onaona noho i ka lipo One fond embrace, a ho'i a'e au Until we meet again. That's us before... It was rainy, and they went for a drive. What happened to yours? I hear you cry at night. Do you dream about them? I know that's why you wreck things and push me. Our family's little now and we don't have many toys but if you want, you could be part of it. You could be our baby and we'd raise you to be good. O'hana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind but if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you, though. I remember everyone that leaves. L... L... Lost. I'm lost. Help! I don't like the ocean! Oh, look, a friendly little dolphin. They helped sailors in the war... It's a shark! It's a shark, and it ain't friendly! It looks like a dolphin. Tricky fish! Tricky fish! Oh, octopus, come and help me? An octo... octopus is worse than a shark! I hate this planet! Oh... little monster! Uh, Agent Pleakley here. I have lost patience with you both. Have you captured - - or not? Um... Uh-uh... Consider yourselves fired and prisonbound. Your incompetence is nothing short of unspeakable! But, uh... mm... We're fired! Now we do it my way! Your way? Oh... uh, wait! It seems I have overestimated Jumber and Blinkley. Uh, Jumba and Pleakley. Whatever. The mission is in jeopardy. This could be your chance to redeem yourself, Captain Gantu. How soon will you be prepared to leave? Immediately. Don't run. Don't make me shoot you. You were expensive. Yes. Yes, that's it. Come quietly. Mm... waiting. For what? Family. Ah! You don't have one. I made you. Oh... maybe I could... You're built to destroy. You can never belong. Now come quietly and we will take you apart. No, no, no, no, don't, don't run! Don't run! Lilo. I didn't hear you get up. Baby, what's wrong? Stitch left. Really? It's good he's gone. He didn't want to be here, anyway. We don't need him. Lilo... sometimes you try your hardest but things don't work out the way you want them to. Sometimes things have to change and maybe sometimes they're for the better... even if... Nani! David! I think I found you a job. You what?! Old man Kukhkini's store, but we got to hurry. Oh, um, okay. Lilo? Baby, this is really important. I need you to stay here for a few minutes. I'm going to be right back. Lock the door and don't answer it for anyone, okay? Things are finally turning around. Aw, David, I owe you one. That's okay. You can just date me, and we'll call it even. Come back here, you little...! Stitch? What is it? Shh! Oh, hiding behind your little friend won't work anymore. Didn't I tell you? We got fired this morning. New rules. Ha! Ooh. Oh, ooh! Ow! Ow! Ow! You ain't nothin' but a hound dog... What are we going to do? ...Cryin' all the time... Ooh! I love this song! Pliers. Screwdriver. Check. Come out, my friend from whomever you're hiding behind. ...Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine... What the...? Ooh! Come on! What's the big deal? I'll put you back together again. I'll make you taller and not so fluffy! I like fluffy! No... No... No! Oh, leave my mother out of this! You could do with a makeover. I tried to give you my good looks but let's face it, something went wrong. No! Quick! Follow me! If we make it to... You're alive! They're all over the place! Running away? Here... let me stop you. You always get in the way! Where's the girl? What have you done to the girl? Hello? Cobra Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house. No, no, no! No aliens! Blue punch buggy! No punch back. They want my dog! There's no need to alert the authorities. Everything's under control. Lilo, who was that? Oh, good, my dog found the chainsaw. Lilo! Don't hang...! Ha! You shouldn't play with guns. Oh, okay. Thank you. Oh, I just remembered. It's your birthday! Happy birthday! Merry Christmas! It's not Christmas. Happy Hanukkah! We're leaving Stitch? Trust me. This is not going to end well. -One potato. -Two potato. -Three potato. -Four. -Five potato. -Six potato. Seven potato, more. My... mother... told... me... you... are... it. Oh, I win! Thanks. Mahalo plenty. You won't be disappointed. I'll show up early to help with the morning deliver... Oh, don't turn left. No. One of them had a giant eye in the middle of his face. Oh, Lilo! Please don't do this. You know I have no choice. No! You're not taking her! I'm the only one who understands her! You take that away, she won't stand a chance! You're making this harder than it needs to be. But you don't know what you're doing! She needs me! Is this what she needs?! It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you. Lilo! Lilo! -Lilo! -Lilo! Lilo! -Lilo! -Lilo! You ruined everything. You're one of them? Ooh! Get out of here, Stitch. Surprise! And here I thought you'd be difficult to catch. Ho-ho-ho. Silly me. Lilo? Lilo!
sewage gases???? ok, so I rent a two bedroom basement suite and theres a huge wet damp piss smelling spot developing and just getting worse on my ceiling!! Its not dripping just staying damp. Ive told my landlord about this and hes had numerous people come in and try to figure out whats going on, my bedroom is beneath a bathroom and like I said it smells of urine. I have planned to move for Dec.1 anyways, but is it safe for me to sleep in my room and if not is it safe for me to be in my house???? I might add as well that I have a 17 month old son here!! also what are the side effects of sewer gases being inhaled???
Plumbing question: sewage smell coming up from drain? Hello- I have a long house. On the furthest end from the sewer line is the master bath, then there is a bathroom in the middle of the house, and then a bathroom at the other end for a total of three. I believe the master bath and middle bath are on the same sewage pipe, then it hits a junction to take it out. The other bath is on the other side of that junction. The middle bath is the one that has the sewer smell coming up from the bath drain the worst, the sink drain, and I believe maybe the toilet, too, although the smell is sometimes so strong it is hard to tell about the toilet. I have been closing the drains at all times to try to keep the smell at bay, but I am unsure as what to do. I am wondering if the sewage that is getting flushed from the master is sitting in the pipe for awhile (because the house is so long and it's really not a powerful flush by any means) and those gases are coming up through the traps? Do I need bigger traps for the middle bath? This is a newer house. We have been in it for about 2.5 years, and this has been a marked problem since last summer. Some basic info. I have city sewer and well water. My house is 76 ft long. HELP! My clean house stinks!!
