....the unvented fixtures and drains are a health and safety issue ....."burning eyes and nose "........that will continue until the proper vents are installed on the illegal fixtures.......and any other faults are repaired.......
Any water use in the rest of the house will pull the water out of those traps.......allowing the septic gases to enter the structure......
A plumber could perform a "smoke" (or peppermint) test on the system for a graphic location of the problem(s)......the drain system is filled with smoke from a smokegenerator.....and the venting system looks like a smokestack safely removing the test smoke........Any faults will quickly fill the house with smoke just as they allow the septic gases to enter.........you can SEE the faults.......
