    Sewer gas smell in one toilet on city water
    I have just replaced the wax ring in my toilet, and I still get sewer gas smell from it. I have many toilets, showers, baths, and sinks in the house, and I only get the smell from the one toilet. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

    So you replaced the wax ring because the other one was leaking sewer gas, is thatcorrect? Is the toilet level or does it rock a bit? Where is the smell the worst?
    After you set the bowl did you caulk the base with Dap White Tub & Tile Caulk? (see image) Let me know, Tom

    I replaced the wax ring as a rule out for the sewer gas smell. The water level stays constant, and I did caulk along the base of the toilet. The toilet never did rock.
