I just made a simple install of new faucets and drains in my bathrooms, Nothing fancy, cleaned out the ptraps, water in ptraps, no leaks, but now I have a sewer gas smell that comes and goes. I replaced the wax flange on toilet thinking maybe it was old, still smells. How can I find the leak and smell? could I have cracked a pvc joint? I have crawled under the house and everything looks dry. Thanks for any help, MT |  09-12-09, 04:11 PM | | Member | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Baltimore County Maryland Posts: 1,186 | | Sewer Smell If you replaced the traps or took them out that is where I would start to look, your seal in a trap will not do anything for the joint where the trap ties into, checl the joint where the trap ties into the wall, sewer gas will seep out before water shows up, luck. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is On | | | All times are GMT -7.
