Why does my septic system smell fine inside but bad outside?
Short Answer
The problem may be isolated to the tank, venting system, or drain field.
Detailed Answer
Outdoor odors often originate from septic tanks, risers, drain fields, or leaking components. Interior plumbing may continue functioning normally while underground failures develop.
