If bad plumbing smells won’t go away, it’s time to call the trusted plumbing specialists at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

When you got up this morning, you were ready to drive over to Anclote Key to take your morning walk through the park. That is, you were ready to do that until you got in the bathroom and smelled something bad. Something that smelled like sewer gas. 

The smell seemed to be coming from around your toilet. You flushed it a couple of times just to make sure nothing was clogging it but the smell did not go away.

The likely cause, according to azbigmedia.com, is a cracked or otherwise damaged wax toilet ring. That’s the thing that helps keep your toilet stuck snugly to the floor.

“Sewer gas smell can rear its head when you least expect it, turning your bathroom into a smelly mess,“ azbigmedia.com says. “The smell, which resembles rotten eggs or gasoline, can be caused by small problems like cracks or leaks that allow the gases to escape into the air. Damage to a toilet wax ring and base or bacterial growth in drains are two of the most common causes of sewer gas smell in the bathroom.”

If the problem comes from a cracked wax ring, the solution is to re-caulk the bottom of the toilet and/or replace the ring. If the issue is bacteria, then you need an enzyme-based cleaner to clear the smell away.

If replacing the wax ring is something you don’t want to handle, or, if the smell doesn’t go away, then it’s time to call the Tampa Bay plumbing experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.
