    Nasty smell in bathroom
    Hi, I have been leaving with a nasty sewage smell in my bathroom for the past two weeks. It is a smell isolated to my master bathroom, but that is so strong it will move the smell to my bedroom and at certain times of the night, my family room.

    The second bathroom is fine.when it first happened I told husband that I thought the toilet was gassing, (we are on septic) he stuck his nose by the base of the toilet and stated that the stench was not coming from there and that he thought it was a dead animal. After a week he stated that he thought we should call a plumber. The plumber said he didn't think it was the toilet but the tub, he replaced all of the scooter(?) vents in the double sinks and the tub. He snaked out the tub drain and went under the house (mobile home,bought in 2004).when he left the smell was still present but he said it would clear up. It didn't! Since we have now been living with it for so long we have noticed some other characteristics, we have noticed that it may be coming from the shower and did the whole bleach over night with boiled pots of water in the morning to both the shower and the tub. It seemed to clear up but then came back with a vengeance especially at night.after dark the smell is horrendous! I haven't slept in my bedroom for two weeks. We have had the septic tank pumped since moving in, can this be the problem?

    Likely, it does seem like the septic tank. Buy yeast tablets, and flush them down the lowest toilet once or twice monthly. Yeast loves stinky smells...

    Maybe a skunk is spending his nights under your bath?
