		The source of the sewer gas in your daughter's house could be plumbing fixtures whose traps have gone dry or have lost enough water that the water seal within the trap has broken.
		Sewer gas is a generic name for a complex mixture of gases and airborne agents that result from the natural process of the decomposition of organic materials in sewage.
		Sewer gas can enter indoor air in homes through floor drains, dried-out sewer traps, or cracks in the foundation (if the gases are in soil adjacent to the house), or from leaking or blocked roof vents.

		Sewers are pipelines that connect buildings to horizontal 'mains', the sewer mains often connect to larger mains, and then to the wastewater treatment site.
		Storm sewers (also storm drains) are large pipes that transport stormwater runoff from streets to natural bodies of water, to avoid street flooding.
		However, separating storm sewers from sanitary sewers often means no treatment of stormwater which is not good either.

	Sewage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sewage collection and disposal is usually done via a system of sewer pipes (sewers) called a sewerage, and sometimes via a cesspool emptier.
		Sewage treatment is the process of removing the contaminants from sewage to produce liquid and solid (sludge) suitable for discharge to the environment or for reuse.
		The words "sewage" and "sewer" came from Old French essouier = "to drain", which came from Latin exaquāre.

		A 200-pound, multi-nozzle waterjet head is attached to the Sewer Hog’s hose, inserted into a manhole and maneuvered upstream, where the jet loosens the detritus and forces it back to the manhole.
		Six Sewer Hog/Grit Gator systems were used on the project (including the big skid-mounted SK 1000), each operated by a crew of three.
		These Jetters are coupled with patented technology which applies to the debris removal technique whereby the sewer sand and other debris are pumped into an enclosed container, and the separated water is simultaneously decanted either back into the sewer or through a filter for reuse by the Jetter truck.

		However, to eliminate sewer overflows caused by groundwater infiltration and rainfall inflow into the sewers, property owners must do their part and rehabilitate their upper sewer laterals as well.
		For backline sewers, where the mainline is located in an easement behind the house, the entire lateral is the responsibility of the homeowner.
		The sewer lateral is the pipe that connects the house plumbing to the City’s sanitary sewer main running in the street (in hilly areas, the sewer main may run in an easement behind the house, referred to as a "backline").

	EPA Combined Sewer Overflows - Office of Wastewater Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Most of the time, combined sewer systems transport all of their wastewater to a sewage treatment plant, where it is treated and then discharged to a water body.
		They are a major water pollution concern for the approximately 772 cities in the U.S. that have combined sewer systems.
		This means that, like sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and stormwater discharges, they are discharges from a municipality's wastewater conveyance infrastructure that are caused by precipitation events such as rainfall or heavy snowmelt.
