At the base of your toilet, there’s a wax ring that seals it to the floor. Over time, that ring can crack or shift, letting sewer gas seep out right at the base. You might not see water, but you’ll smell it.
Check for a musty odor near the floor around your toilet. If you find one, it’s time to replace the wax ring—a simple job for a handy friend or a plumber.
Think of it as giving your toilet a new pair of shoes. Everyone feels better with fresh soles.
