Hello All,
I have an intermittent sewer smell, that's mostly faint. And, here's what's happened to date:
1) Removed carpeting from Master Bathroom.
2) New smooth subflooring laid over orginal subfloor.
3) Vinyl flooring laid
4) Noticed slight sewer smell
5) Added more wax to installed wax ring
6) Caulked around base of toilet
Five and Six cut down on the smell, however its still there. I'm thinking about pulling the toliet and laying a caulk bead around the drain and where the vinyl meets it. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Could there be a gap between the new and old subfloor?
TIA
Duan
