Unhappy


Came home today and smelled sewage-like odor from our second-floor shower stall (2-story house).

There is no apparent problem with toilets, dishwasher, or clotheswasher drainage.

Checked drain system under house (crawl-space) and all seems OK -- no indication of leaks or anything else out of the ordinary.

Help, please?? Thanks.

Cool

Sounds like a vent pipe blockage problem.
Go up on roof over that bathroom, check the vent pipe for leaves and debris, clean out what you can reach, and flush the pipe with a water hose sprayer.
If that doesn't clear it, you'll have to snake the vent pipe from topo to bottom, and then flush it.
Good Luck!
Mike
