Odors often come from dry or siphoned traps, not dirt. Refill traps, check venting, and seal around toilets and penetrations. Clean biofilm in drains. If smells return, inspect the wax ring and look for hidden leaks.
Hold water for a full 24 hours. Mark the level at the start and end. Any drop means a leak. Fix seams, corners, or the drain connection, then test again before tile.
Most small bathrooms do well with 80–110 CFM. Keep the duct short and straight, vent outside, and use a timer to run the fan 20–30 minutes after showers.
Aim for about 1/4 inch above the finished floor. This height compresses the wax ring properly and prevents leaks and odors around the base.
Check the drain gasket and weep holes first. Reseal the drain if accessible. If the membrane or pan fails a 24‑hour test, you’ll likely need targeted demolition and a new continuous waterproofing system.
Smells stop when traps hold water and vents breathe. Leaks stop when waterproofing is continuous and seams are tight. Follow the checks, hit the measurements, and test your work. Next steps: 1) Run the 10‑step diagnostic on your next job, 2) Correct fan size and timer, 3) Flood‑test every shower for 24 hours. When you’re ready to turn your findings into clear scopes and fast approvals, tools like Donizo help capture details and send signed proposals fast. Do the basics right, and those bathrooms stay fresh, dry, and quiet.
