Re: New House...Bad Smell
Bakers yeast is a good product for waste enzymnes for the good bacteria. This is only good if you have a septic. If your are on a municpal sewer system, the bacteria won't matter for your use.
Check the floor drains. Floor drains are always overlooked for dry traps that cause smelly situations.
Another possiblilty is a cracked or a failed glued joint. Strong detergents can deteriorate glued joints causing failure to. Just because you don't see a leak when water is running doesn't mean you don't have a leak in the system. This type of leak usually occurs in the vent pipes.
I have seen guys use smoke pellets put into the vent pipe to find leaks. You may need a experienced plumber to sort this out if you cannot find it.
