Why does my yard smell like sewage after rain?
Short Answer
Rain can force septic gases and wastewater toward the surface.
Detailed Answer
Excess moisture may saturate the soil around a drain field, preventing proper wastewater absorption. As a result, odors and wastewater can become more noticeable after storms.
