sewer odor

In reply to sewer odor from toilet by john on May 25th, 2004 08:08 AM [Go to top of thread]

You sure its from the toilet? Traps keep out sewer gases, not wax ring. Perhaps one of the traps in the other fixtures in the bathroom are not holding water, allowing sewer gases in.
Maybe other trap leaks down from loose cleanout plug if so equipped.
Any recent creative plumbing installations not trapped or vented properly, maybe causing enough vacuum in the system to suck a trap dry?
