Im trying to figure out this customers sewer smell problem. Background is his downstairs bathroom is periodically getting sewer smell coming from his shower is where they mostly notice it after a shower. The bathroom is all tile sitting on a slab so theres no way to get to it. It didnt start until they remodeled the upstairs bathroom. They didnt touch the downstairs during the remodel. They have a studor vent downstairs but looked fine. I checked all p-traps and they are good, the toilet is caulked all the way around so its not there, I didn't check the sewage ejector I'm not even sure if there is one. The home owner wants to do a smoke test but I'm not sure how to even do one. Can anybody give me some pointers on what to look at next cuz I'm stumped
 
Smoke test.
Hire a leak-detection company who owns the equipment.
Not worth the investment in smoke testing equip. for rare need.
