OK, this may sound weird, but we have a second floor shower that has a trap, but it smells sewer gas when the water runs. Otherwise it is OK. The house was redone a few years ago before we bought it, with many screw ups, but I did manage to look under the floor and there is a trap, and it seems to have water in it, there is no odor normally. Just when we start the shower up, then it goes away.
The shower drains to a main stack/vent about six feet away, that goes up about 6 feet and out the roof. There is no separate vent on the drain. It doesn't seem to be evaporating, or being sucked out. I can smell the shower drain, see water below, then start the shower up and it smells for a about 30 seconds and goes away.
Any ideas?
