Guys, just did a search and didn't find quite the exact same situation I'm experiencing. I get a urine/ sewer smell when I flush my rarely used 2nd bathroom toilet. However the smell is coming directly from INSIDE the bowl...not the tank, not the base where the wax ring is, nor from the sink or tub drains. Occasionally, my master bathroom toilet has the same problem. The smell does not permeate the entire house, it's restricted to the toilet bowl and, at it's worst will smell up the bathroom. I've scrubbed the entire toilet with bleach and hot water, yet the smell persists. I keep the toilets spotless at all times, so it's not a cleanliness issue.
Just a litte more info:
House is on concrete slab
Toilets do not rock, they are sturdily mounted
There is carpet in both bathrooms (yuck)
House is 8 years old.
seemingly no drainage problems, but I've just used the super-concentrated drain cleaner last night in case there are clogs in the system. I will check back today to see if there is a difference.
Otherwise, what else could be the problem? I'd really appreciate any insight!
