Sewer Service in Caldwell, ID
A sewer smell in the bathroom usually comes from the shower drain, the toilet seal or the sink overflow. Here is how to check each.
✓ Drain Cleaning
✓ Sewer Line Repair
✓ Hydro Jetting Services
A bathroom has more drain openings in a small space than any other room, so it is where sewer odors show up most. The source is almost always one of four places, and each has its own test.
A shower that is rarely used has a dry trap. Run water for a minute to refill it. A shower used daily can still smell if hair and soap are decaying in the trap. See bathtub and shower drain cleaning.
A wax ring seals the toilet to the drain. If the toilet rocks when you sit on it, or the smell is strongest at the base, the seal has likely failed. Water stains around the base are another clue. The toilet has to be lifted and reset with a new ring.
The overflow channel in a bathroom sink collects soap, toothpaste and bacteria and rarely gets rinsed. Flush it with hot water and clean the stopper. Also check under the sink that the P-trap is in place and holding water.
A blocked vent can siphon water out of bathroom traps, which brings the smell back every few days. A cracked drain pipe in the wall or floor is less common but possible. If refilling the traps does not last, the vent or line needs checking. For a smell throughout the home, see sewer smell in the house.

FAQ
Have questions about your sewer or drain system? Call us and we will help you figure out the best next step.

Running water can stir up buildup in the trap, or a partly blocked vent may pull sewer gas through the drain as water flows.
+
With doors and windows closed and less air movement, a faint odor from a dry trap or leaking seal becomes more noticeable.
+
Yes. A failed wax ring can let gas out long before any water appears at the base.
+
Run water into the drain for about a minute. For drains that are rarely used, repeat every few weeks.
