Earlier today I noticed the bathroom smelled really rank, and the smell wouldn't go away. I assumed the seal under the toilet had broken and was letting sewer gas into the bathroom, so I lit a candle to help with the smell and was waiting for my husband to get home (he's seen plumbers replace that seal before so I figured he'd know what to look for.) However, I'm worried because now the bathroom smells fine but the sewer gas smell is in the rest of the house. That doesn't make sense, surely if the smell was coming from the bathroom then I'd smell it in there, despite the candle burning. So, what else could this be? The toilet works fine and doesn't seem loose, and there's no leaks anywhere. We have no basement and I have no idea where the pipes are, even if I knew what I was looking for. Any thoughts? Or am I overthinking this?
