Due to the way the septic tank produces gases, caused by the breaking up of the bacteria in the tank. Filters and drain traps are put into the houses plumbing system that is designed to hold water in the lower loop and block the gases from flowing back into the house. Most houses on a septic system will have the vent pipe(s) on the roof of the house and this is where these gases are released, rather than going back into the house.
