Question: When our house gets hot, it smells like sewer!. Can it cause medical problems!?
The odor is a very strong sewer smell!. Here lately my family seems to get headaches and we have been getting sick to our stomachs!. Is this caused by the sewer smell in our home!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, headaches, allergies, respiratory problems, and nausea among other symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That sounds horrible- im sorry to hear you are dealing with that- its especially tough because this is your home!. What I would do is call a specialist to survey your home (check local yellow pages)- it sounds like it could be one of two things- a break in a sewer line (but I think you would smell it all the time; but it would get worse when the temp is warmer too) or you could have a mold problem- which will cause serious health damage!

check you yellowpages for a home inspection agency that will check for mold or other possible problems- you need to take care of your family and stay healthy!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is it possible you may have no deep sewage and have a tank underground we did in a small town we used to live in!.
We had to used some enzyme to put down the toilet to keep tree rots away!.
If you don't have this then I would think its time for a plumber!.
If your renting tell your landlord
Looks to me like you have a broken pipe some place!.
Look for any odd wet spots around the outside of the house that may give you a clue to where it isWww@Answer-Health@Com

Are the drain traps working properly!. Run water in all the drains, even the ones you don't use regularly to fill the traps with water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
