After a heavy rain during the summertime, I have a basement toilet that emits a strong sewage smell. I've tried everything I know and can't figure it out. Here are details:
1. Basement bath has it's own small septic tank separate from rest of house (upstairs).
2. Smell only happens after a heavy rain and only during the summertime
3. I've changed the wax ring
4. I've checked the vent pipe for any obstruction
5. I've pumped the septic tank and had it inspected
6. Smell comes from inside the bowl...if I cover the bowl with Saran Wrap=no smell
Any suggestions?
