stale water smell after rain
2 year old washington homes built single family house. whenever it rains, you can smell a stale water smell coming from all the main level sinks -- kitchen sink, powder room sink , and was tub sink in garage. smell is not evident in the basement or the upstairs. house does have a sump pump with a walk up basement drain outside. no evidence of water accumulation outside in the basement stairwell.
have only found the smell either during rain storm or the day or 2 following rain.
any help is greatly appreciated.

hmm.. good question. im not real sure where it goes. I do know that it has not turned on even with the heavy rains that we just got through.
in fact when i bought the house, the pump was not working due to a bad motor. it was replaced and now the pump does turn on in manual mode. again, no evidence of any water damage anywhere in the basement.
