I have an 8 year old Toto Carolina installed in a powder room. About six month's ago I started noticing intermittent sewer gas smells. I pulled the toilet and the unifit adapter, installed a new wax ring and added some wax to the unifit adapter gasket hoping to improve the toilet/gasket seal.
A few days ago I noticed the sewer gas smell again and used a combustible gas detector to try to identify the source. First I checked around the base of the toilet and the unifit gasket connection and didn't get a reading. Then I opened the seat lid and started getting "beeps" indicating sewer gas. I then took the tank lid off and put the probe into the overflow and it really started beeping.
I'm confident the floor flange and unifit gasket are not the source, which leaves the unifit adaper or the toilet itself. I would appreciate any advice how to proceed from here.
Thanks in advance for your response(s).
