Could the methane gas coming from the drain be causing our health problems?

Its coming from a drain right outside my sons bedroom window and frequently fills his room, our bathroom and hall especially at night when we are washing dishes, having showers and so on. The repairguy says the vent is in the wrong place. This is a 7yr old rental house. Apart from the obvious flamability (my son has been able to ignite it,) I am also concerned as the two children who have used that room over the 7yrs have suffered various mentle health conditions and my son is behaving aggressivly. As a family we have all had various health problems since living in this house but kept being told there were no leaks, we were imagining it. Could our health problems be related to the leak?

My house is on a septic system and I routinely use ‘Rid-X’ to keep it maintianed. Don’t think there’s a problem with the tank or leach field.

Are there any good make at home drain cleaners?
Hair and grease I’m thinking. Its the bathtub. I moved in a few months ago and its been plugged since then. I’ve tried every kind of drain cleaner, its been taken apart once and cleaned out.

How much water do I drain from the pool so I can work on the underground 2 pipes without water problems?

I need to do some work on my 4 underground pool pipes that connect my pool to the equipment. If I lower the water level in the pool so it is lower than the level of the 4 underground 2 PVC pipes, do I eliminate any water problems at the site where I am making my cuts? I am worried about not being able to control the water due to the pressure created by the pool. Should I also put a rubber mat over the main drain in the bottom of the pool?
