Thank you.</p>itssweetnessitssweetness37questionWed, 25 Mar 2009 11:29:17 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Sump_pump_odor_sewage_8624377041013/?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/Sump_pump_odor_sewage_8624377041013/probably_need_trap_check_valve_odor_627351648370338?src=rss:qb:qbi<p> you probably need a trap or a check valve.The odor is backing up from the sewage line.</p>jeffjeff36answer3.0Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:36:40 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/Sump_pump_odor_sewage_8624377041013/probably_need_trap_check_valve_odor_627351648370338?src=rss:qb:qbi
