    Garbage disposal smell in the bathroom
    I have a NASTY smell in my bathroom, it smells like sewer and whatever I ground down the disposal in the kitchen!! Do you have any reasons it would smell in the bathroom? The disposal does not smell at all.

    Thank you for your help!

    I would suppect the wax seal on the toilet. Is the smell worse after you flushIf so you have a ruptured seal. What you're smelling is sewer gas expelled by backpressure from the flush. To solve this problem the toilet must be pulled and a new wax seal installed. Good luck, tom
