We've been renovating the basement, gradually turning it into a livable space, and now we've hit a wall with this mysterious shower issue. We hired a plumbing company to install a toilet and shower in the area that will eventually serve as a bathroom. After having numerous issues with the toilet that have finally been remedied, now the shower is causing problems. Every time it's used in warmer weather, sewer gas is emanating from *somewhere*, but it only ever happens when the shower is in use. The higher the temperature outside, and the rainier it is, the worse the sewer odor gets. The trap beneath the shower is working fine, no issues there. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and do you think installing a vent directly above the shower would remove the offending gases?
