I have sewer gas leaking into the office and the owners think it’s funny

For context, I work at a small used car lot, the office is connected to the garage. The garage has 2 bays for washing and servicing, but the one closest to the office doesn't get used regularly. The past week, there has been an increasing smell of sewer gas coming into the office, and today it's borderline unbearable. I called the owners and they basically told me to deal with it until he can get someone to come look at it. I guess I'm wondering, does anyone know any laws or anything I can throw at the owners to show I'm serious and they should also take this seriously? I'd hate to quit over something so ridiculous, but thinking about somebody else coming to work in these conditions seems ridiculous to me too. TL;DR my office smells like sewer and the owners won't do shit about it
