Same problem! I asked around the neighborhood but nobody else seems to have the problem or can't smell it!! I finally convinced the hubby to call Mike Scott (we've always had them and we're terrific). They showed up, turned on every faucet in the house and garage, let them run for about 15 minutes, opened up the sewer out front and it flushed through.... He wouldn't put a snake down the drain to make sure there was no obstruction. In his opinion, it was "fixed" and his job was finished. About 2 weeks later, same smell, same problem. I know I won't be calling Mike Scott back to the house to turn on faucets...I'll try the 'coke trick' first...We never had bad service prior and haven't tried them again. Don't know if it was an isolated issue with the technician!
