septic tank gas

[North]

We have a brand new house. The problem is that it smells gas in the garage. It smells awful. The gas come from the floor vent. The garage is isolated and is part of the house. How can I correct this problem?

Well hopefully they put a proper trap in that drain which will keep the sewer gas from leaking out. The problem with frequently unused drains is that the water in the trap evaporates.

Pour at least a half gallon of water down that drain, and hopefully your smells will stop for another 3 to 6 months.

Thank you very kindly. Have a nice evening.
