Why does my bathroom stink now that we just replaced the toilet?
- Is there water in the bowl above the top of the drain opening?
- When it was replaced, was all of the old wax seal scraped off of the toilet flange and the flange cleaned to ensure a good seal?
- Was a new wax seal used between the toilet and the flange?
- Was it sat on/twisted slightly during installation to ensure a good wax ring seal?
- Does the toilet rock at all?
- Have you made sure that the tub/shower and sink traps still have enough water in them to seal them?
- Did you or the installer plug the hole in the flange while working to prevent sewer gases from entering the room/house?
- Were any other changes made to the plumbing or venting recently?
- Are you having any other plumbing issues?
