We just built a new house, and have lived here less than 2 months. There is a HORRIBLE smell coming from the basement, in the area of the sump pump and grinder pump. The sump pump runs about every 15 minutes, which is somewhat normal since we are on a high water table. We have a well, and our water has a high sulphur content, but this is not a rotten egg smell, it smells more like sewage. It's infiltrating the entire house, and I have no idea what to do about it! Can someone please help me? Thank you!

And how do you tell which one you've got? From what I have read, it seems like they are exactly the same thing. They both can pump clean water and waste water. My home warranty covers sump pumps, but not sewer pumps.
I believe we have a grinder pump with blades, but it is pumped to the sewer system.
