sewer gas

08/10/2001 12:24 PM prairieguy

We have recently built a new house in the country with a septic system. We can smell sewer gas outside the house. I am sure the smell is coming from the vent pipe. Unfortunately, we can smell it on the deck at the back of the house if the wind is out of the south or on the front porch if the wind is from the north. Will putting an attachment on the vent pipe to raise its height allow for the gas to vent higher and thus not be smelled around the house? Any other solutions?

Thanks
