So... when I flush the toilet, it smell like sewage all around the house

that's your ass. probably best just to burn all that fat off anyway, like with gasoline.

septic?

You may have a problem.

Broken pipe?

Well I don't know I'm on 4th floor of an apartment building.

But I'm pretty sure it's not a septic tank.

Maybe.

It's my guess that you have a serious problem with the sewage pipes in your home. Time to call a plumber.

If its inside, your septic is starting to back up. Use some RidX or 1/2 gallon of buttermilk.

It its outside, then you need some new chlorine tabs in the field line.

You have a dry trap somewhere that's allowing sewer gas to escape into the house. Any drains you don't normally use?

Pour a bucket of water down every drain you have. That will refill all the traps and should solve your problem.

Run some water in all your drains. Water in the traps has evaporated.

There is a vent pipe that runs from the main sewer line up through the roof to disperse gases and maintain flow.
If it gets plugged..

Sometimes birds get in.. make a nest.
Squirrels get in and plug with leaves and nuts..

Or.. there could be a blockage in the main pipe before the vent junction which defeats venting.

It could be that the vent pipe "shit stack" that goes through the roof of your building is clogged, preventing the sewage gasses from venting, it could be anything from ice or snow, or a dead raccoon or squirrel, a birds nest, or a hornets nest, it's a pain in the ass to clean out.
Good luck!

you should get your husband to check it out. sounds like a septic problem or a broken pipe or something

Well like look dood. Like you gotta make sure like your pipes are clear and that stinky shit like won't come back, bro.

Like check all your vent pipes and like make sure they're all clear. Like you may have to get up on your roof so like just get a ladder and like go up there and like make sure you have like vapors and shit coming out of it.

Oh, and don't like fall off the roof, like you may get yourself killed.

Yea, my husband had to clean the shit out of of our pipes twice this year. Usually happens in the spring, we thought it was the roots growing but it turned out to be some backwash sewage clogging our pipe with towels or some cloth material. It only happens when he pisses me off. I don't put the towels in there either, I've been accused of that already. hehe

The roof is fucking high man. It's 5 stories high.

Copper sewage pipes in the basement may have corrosion holes in them on top OR the toilet wax seal is shot.

another reason why women are terrible

It's not towels, it's your nasty fucking tampons you heathens flush down the toilet that leave blood streaks all over the inside of the bowl.

Stop it already. wtf

You're gonna blow the whole place sky high with methane buildup.

That's probably it... we have a woman in the house and I never see her stuff in the garbage can... so she probably flushes it down the toilet...

FFS...

I don't have a period. We don't even flush toilet paper down our toilets.

Canadians just smell like shit,

That's it, I'm starting a thread about it.

Pay no attention to this^^^^^idiot, sewage pipes are either iron or PVC plastic, and if your wax seal is leaking, there would be toilet water on your floor, the problem is with the vent system, it could be that one of your upstairs neighbors flushed something large down the shitter to block the ventilation, since you live in a multi-floor building, anything can happen...

They do make copper dwv pipe. It's expensive as all hell, but it's not uncommon, especially in high rises and such. Cast iron is far more likely, but copper dwv is around.

Tap water smells like poo while washing hands after using the toilet. Live in a condo on bottom floor. Roomate has not been around for months and they are on bottom floor also. Flushed their toilet and ran their sink and shower for several minutes. Smell on my side seems to be a LOT less. I am not a plumber but I guess the water evaporated out of the drain traps on their side allowing sewage gasses to flow some how. worked for me.
