I have a home that was built in 2008. It is one story and has two bathrooms. The master bath is fine. However, the front secondary bathroom has a sewage smell coming from it. The water in the tub and sink smell horrible and the towlet even after using the flush tablets smell. There is always a yellow ring above the water that will even accure after cleaning the towlet an hour later. There is only one person that usese that bathroom so it is not used a lot. What is the problem.

Are u on city sewer or septic tank?
If on septic, Have u had it cleaned since u moved in? If not would recommend that is where to start.

Hi Amanda
Is secondary bath on a concrete slab?
Have u check to see if traps are working correctly? Water in traps.
U may have a broken pipe and minor blockage.
Does water drain fast enough?
This post will bring u back to top. Maybe one of the plumbing experts will know more then me.
Good luck
