Recently, one of my upstairs restrooms seems to smell quite foul time to time… The toilet flushes all right and there is no apparent issues… Is there something I can do to alleviate the situation or I must find a plumber? My house is now 10 years old.

Tom: They always blame the plumbing, and you know, it’s usually not. It could be dead squirrels, it could be your kid’s shoes, it could be rotting carpet, it could be a leak in what we call the building envelope, or breach. If he would like to call a plumber, if he suspects it’s coming from his bathroom plumbing, he can do that. That would be a pea trap or toilet that needs to have a new wax ring. But, usually it’s much more in-depth than that. Something is going on, and I’m not sure how to do anything but just really investigate.
