Listen to this s***...
So over the past couple months I’ve noticed kinda a sewer smell when grabbing yard tools/mower/stuff from our shed. The wife did t notice it and just thought I was ‘smelling things’. This shed is quasi attached to the back side of our house and was ‘built’ by the PO. I chalked it up to nothing...for a while...but kept smelling this ‘smell’.
I ended up crawling under the house to check the main plumbing stack intending to likely find a leak. Nothing, no leaks, no issues. I chalk it to maybe smelling something from somewhere else.
Today I was doing some stuff in the yard and when walking by the shed I notice what looked like a hint of wet dirt where the shed subfloor meets the ground. Told myself I’d investigate later...later I walked by it again and notice a decent sized wet spot in the mulch downgrade from the shed.
I recalled the PO mentioning there was a clean out under the shed, which didn’t make much sense to put one there (shed or clean out)...so I cut out a section of the shed floor where I thought the clean out should be...holy fock. Picture speaks for itself...
I’ve spent the past 4 hours cleaning out the shed and then started to tear it down. We experience no plumbing issues inside the house, no backups, nothing so I’m guessing maybe the shed has settled and cracked the main line and it’s leaking. Won’t know until I beat the shed out of the way.
Positive is that I’ve always hated this jerry rigged shed and now have a great reason to get rid of it and build a new one in another spot.
