    What would cause bathroom to smell like urien?
    Our bathroom smells like urien - I had the sink drain removed and cleaned, put bleach in tub drain, toilet does not appear to be leaking at the base, floor is not carpet... I have cleaned and cleaned with bleach... even checked in basement below bathroom to see if any signs of leaking... Just beside myself as to what would be causing this awful smell... can hardly stand to go in the room... HELP!

    Check between the tank and the bowl. There is a space there and maybe an "overshoot", or many has allowed urea to collect there.

Bathroom smell [ 1 Answers ]
