Smell and odour

Toilet Smells Like: Rotten Eggs or Sulfur

 If your toilet is emitting a sulfur smell, it means there are bacteria in the water.
 This problem can be fixed by replacing the drains or disinfecting them to eliminate
the smell.

Toilet Smells Like: Sewage

 The p-trap is a U-shaped pipe that holds a small amount of water in it to form a
preventative seal against sewer gases coming up from your toilet and into your home.
Sometimes, however, the p-trap allows these gases to escape via a leak, a broken seal,
or infrequent use.

Toilet Smells Like: Urine

 constant urine smell is likely due to a leaking wax seal, which is located under the
toilet and seals the point between the toilet and the drain.

 Improper installation and general wear and tear can cause the seal to leak.
Unfortunately, when this happens, whatever is in the toilet can slowly drip onto the
floor behind the toilet. The result? A constant urine smell no matter how often you
clean and disinfect the area.

 Luckily, replacing this seal is quick and easy.
