under there, it's really hard to be sure if we've been able to check everything. Upon a cursory look in the crawlspace, we weren't able to find any dead animals, but there is so much insulation, etc. We do live right next to a greenway, so there are a lot of animals (rats, squirrels, raccoons, etc.) in the area. Since it's happened about four times, we have no idea if it's some strange sewage line issue only with really heavy rains, or if we're just really unlucky and have a very inviting crawlspace for dead/dying animals. It tends to coincide with heavy rains, but we live in a very moist area (Pacific Northwest) and it doesn't happen with -every- rain. The smell gets completely overwhelming when it happens, but then will eventually go away after a couple of weeks. The smell seems to be coming from the floor, so it's obviously something in the crawlspace. We have a bathroom attached to our master bedroom, but on the opposite side of the room from the smell. The master bedroom is on the ground floor, directly above a crawlspace that is only accessible from outside. So we bought a house a couple of years ago (the house is approximately 12 years old, weather-proofing is wonderful, no mold or moisture issues), but probably about three or four times in the last two years, it's smelled like a dead animal or sewage (my man thinks it smells more like sewage I think it smells more like a dead animal) under our master bedroom.
