Odor in basement bathroom. Started a year before we had to have our septic pumped. For the last year(clean septic) we still get this odor. Seems to only show up after clothes washer runs a few loads. Prior to septic cleaning, when washer was draining, , basement toilet would actually bubble up. Currently, no bubbling but you can see the water level bob up and down in toilet. Changed toilet wax ring twice now trying to cure odor but to no avail. Cannot really pinpoint where odor is coming from? Shower,sink or toilet.
There is a floor drain in basement just 2 feet from toilet on other side of wall and there is no discharge from drain. I also never notice an odor coming from drain although it is back in the utility room and I'm not really back there as often as the bathroom. Air stacks on roof look clear.
Could the drain pipe to septic tank be partially clogged and cause this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Bill
