Thanks. The fans are just part of the attic ventilation. But I've got a suspicion that I may have a crack in the drain after the trap in my shower. The shower is against the closet and the vent pipe goes up that wall. Could be a loose T joint as well. Unfortunatly I can't 'see' an odor to tell without putting a hole in my wall. Any thoughts on putting some kind of valve on the vent stack to prevent the odors from escaping?
