SEPTIC ODOR COMING BACK UP THROUGH ONE SHOWER DRAIN.
I have two showers going into the some outgoing pipe. Shower 1 drains into a pipe with a trap. That trap goes horizontally to where shower 2 enters a foot or so down the line and then shower two drain pipe enters. Then there is a 2nd trap. Shower 2 has no problem with odor. Shower one does. I tried using one of those interior exhaust caps (with that snorkel like stopper on top) along the line near shower 1 drain. It made no difference. It is worse if I wait 24 hours or so. I know that means that water has probably evaporated in the trap.
but there is no odor until water is turned on and going down the drain.
