A request for service was received on 1/6/2016 which stated this establishment has a "strong sewage odor".

Water has been added to the floor drain to see if it is a dry trap problem in the floor causing the odor. The odor is still present after adding the water to the drain. Continue to add the water to drain to help prevent a dry trap. If the odor continues to occur, please contact a licensed plumber to evaluate the issue.

No further investigation. Case closed.
