Sewer Odors in Bathroom. DEAR TIM: We recently have begun to notice a sewer odor from only one of the three bathrooms in our house. It might be the toilet, but it's hard to tell. The smell is not constant and some times it is very strong. Everything in the house drains fine, including the toilet with the odor.
As they feed, anaerobic bacteria produce metabolites that have characteristically noxious smells. One set of smells is related to sulfur compounds. This is the source of that characteristically ârotten eggâ smell associated with bad breath secondary to post-nasal drip. Another set of smells is associated with polyamines that produce the classic putrescent odor of decay.
