I have a toilet, sink and tub running left to right in a small bathroom and we are getting a sewer gas smell in the bathroom. It seems like after a tub drains with the exhaust fan on to remove the moisture it is much stronger. The rest of the time it is a faint smell. My first guess was some kind of blockage in the vent was sucking the trap dry in the tub but even when I add water after the tub is drained to fill the trap we get the smell.
I thought it was the toilet but I had that pulled and reset and even put silicone around the base. I am not sure if it is the tub or the toilet and was wondering how to trouble shoot it. Should I put a rag in the tub for a day or two to see if it is the tub or is there some other method ? The thing with the vent clog, wouldn't it happen with other drains tied into it or is it the lowest trap that gets emptied.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance
