septic tank smell???

km79 · 2010-06-19 21:12:24

just wondering if its normal to occasionally get a smell from the septic tank (depending on the breeze :)). its a puraflo system so no vents as such. the concrete lids however are not sitting 100% correctly (long story) so there is a little gap that i suspect might be letting smell out? just wondering if systems with vents…

Unless you sh1t smells of roses its likely there is going to me a bad smell from the vent pipe. There is gases produced from the breakdown of the contents inside.
