Excessive toilet vent stack smell

Pete, when was the last time it was pumped out? Ours needs pumping every 2 years (by law in WI). There is a "flapper Valve" in the line at the tank, this may be stuck or broken. The pumper would be able to check this with a long mirror on a stick.

Are the tennants putting something down they shouldn't? Excessive use of a in sink garbage disposer? Or...

The main line may have some, uhm, buildup in it preventing full flow to the tank, enough flow as to not back up, but something staying behind in the line causing the smell.

I've also known tennants to put "disposable" diapers down the toilet, causing the vlave to stick open.

The WI DNR is responsible for the every 2 Years. Never the less, it is a good idea to have it pumped every few years to prevent the "personal" items from getting into the drain field. Pumping is cheap insurance.

There is plenty enough bacteria in the black water put into the system that renders the "culture" products wasted money. Too much bleach or other products like that will cause problems, though, for any bacteria.
