Why does your sump pump smell like sewage?

Because there may be sewage in it, or worse. Call a plumber Floor drains and washing machine drains are often drained into sumps. Grey water from these sources will begin to smell if not regularly flushed with more water and pumped out.

The best way to eliminate this is to seal the sump with a clear cover so you can view the water levels. This will also help with other potential indoor air quality issues like radon gas. I also recommend an inspection plug to allow for manipulating a stuck pump float.

Also if you have flood in the basement pulling the plug will provide a quick drain for the water You can view a photo of a cover here indoor-air-health-advisor.com/radon-miti....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
