268 Lamar Dr Portage, Michigan -
Portage
For the past ten years that I've lived at 268 Lamar Dr. I have been unable to get grass to grow in a 3ft X 5ft area at the curb. A neighbor told me that the previous owner was unable to get grass to grow in this spot also. I decided to tackle the issue by replacing the soil yesterday and as I dug up the earth, it smelled like sewage. A neighbor suggested I call Consumers Energy and have them test for a natural gas leak. I did this last night and they came out and checked and advised that it's a non-combustible gas (such as sewer gas) that is leaking through the soil. Can you have someone check on this? My guess is that this leak has been there for a long time, I'm just finally starting to figure it out. Thank you in advance.
