    Sewage smell after toilet was removed and put back

    UPDATE! You all are so helpful. Went back under and had my son flush while I was recording, shooting into the mirror. Lo and behold, drops of water emerged which of course is not good and also maybe explains the bad smell (Terry, maybe you can confirm if my thinking is correct on this about...
