WHY IS MY TOILET SMELLING?
Toilet Smells Like Sewage
Does your toilet smell like sewage? If you smell a sewage odor coming up from your toilet, then chances are there’s an issue with your p-trap. The p-trap is a u-shaped pipe that contains a small amount of water used to form a preventive seal from sewer gases. If there is a leak, broken seal, or the water evaporates as a result of not flushing the toilet for a long time, then the sewer gases can come up from your toilet and into your home.
Toilet Smells Like Urine Even After Cleaning
Does your toilet still smell like urine even after cleaning it inside and out? If this is your problem, try performing a heavy cleaning in and around the toilet using a bleach based cleaner. Make sure to clean the floor and anything close to the toilet, even the wall behind the toilet.
If you are sure your toilet has been cleaned and disinfected entirely, then you may have a leaking wax seal. The wax seal sits under the toilet between the toilet and the drain and if it’s not installed properly or worn out it can leak. If you can pinpoint the smell to the bottom of the toilet, then this is most likely your issue.
what is the Solution? Try deep cleaning with a bleach based cleaner. If that doesn’t work check if the wax seal needs to be replaced. Replacing the wax seal involves removing the entire toilet, so it’s best to contact your local #plumber ( #AzerplumbLLC )to confirm this is the problem. Phone# 678-886-2729
