Our small building shares a party wall to the west with a small building with a commercial laundromat on the ground floor. Lately, the lower floors and basement of our building, and certain areas of one shareholder's apt. smell like the funny smell that the laundromat has inside-like sewer back up, in fact. Anyone have any idea if it is possible that the laundromats drainage and sewers may be mingling water with ours and smells are migrating? We don't know where to begin on this one and hiring an engineer is an expense we haven't budgetd for. Thanks, BN

What i think might work for you, 1st locate the problem, and install an air purifier with CHARCOAL filters, this will eliminate the odors.
