I am in the middle of a bathroom remodel. The sink and toilet are removed and I have open waste pipes. I stuffed an old shirt in the toilet flange and a sock in the sink pipe to stop any gasses from coming up. This was working for a few weeks, but now the smell is coming through. I even tried a plastic bag under the shirt stuffed in the toilet flange. Anyone have any other ideas??? This gas is really bad!!!!!!!!! Please help

Is the tub or shower still there. Pour some water into the drain to seal the trap.

Beano?
No, but seriously, if u have removed the trap adapter when you removed the bathroom sink then try a inch and a half expansion plug for the sink drain and depending on whether u have a 3 or 4 inch drain for the throne or (commode) that is , use another expasion plug 3 or 4 inch as needed, then follow with two asprins and call someone in the morning.
