    Bad smell in bathrooms
    Hello,
    Since we had septic pumped, there's a bad smell like cabbabe coming from bathrooms, is this dangerous to humans? How can we correct this? Have been sick to my stomach lately, smell has been in house for about 3 weeks, just after septic was pumped. Also vent was open up, guess it was plugged also.
    :( Thank you, dede ramo

    Does the toilet rock? Typically an odor is from a wax seal settling under a toilet because the toilet rocks or the toilet got too warm. Pull and reset the toilet. Does the old wax ring look like it was not sealing? Try that and let me know if the odor stops
