I am getting this terrible sewer gas smell coming from my bathtub drain. It is practically blowing out of my drain and fills up the house with terrible odor if I leave it uncovered for more than a few minutes.
Generally, the smell is worse during the day than it is at night. The tub gets used at least twice a day. The house is a single story home on a slab. The smell started about 1-2 months ago, and was not an issue for the first few months that I lived in this home.
Troubleshooting that I have done so far:
I am out of ideas and would prefer not to rip the tub out to fix this. Any ideas on what could be causing the smell? THANK YOU

Troubleshooting that I have done so far:
- Checked the vent stack from the roof, it was clear.
- Plumber came by to check if P-trap was not filling, camera inspection showed trap is full of water. Tried turning on all the other faucets in the house and the water did not empty from the trap. Smell still came through even though trap has water (WEIRD).
- Tried bio-clean for a week, no luck.
