Default Tracing bad sewer smell

This may be a little OT because it's not for home, but church. My
church has developed a really bad sewer like smell in one corner of the
building, actually by the main entrance. I thought it might be the new
drinking fountain and it was just installed and maybe there was some
kind of drain leak ... apparently not. BTW, there is a basement right
under that corner, but is smells ... well it doesn't, at all. Someone
found a a bag of meat left out from the food pantry tucked away in a
corner of a room ... apparently not that. A plumber was called and he
found a somewhat loose toilet so he replace the wax ring and tightened
it ... not that either.

Ok, all that said, does anyone know of a way to trace where it is coming
from? My smeller is pretty good, however, it's hard to pin point the
spot when it seems to be everywhere. And then, on some days, nowhere;
although the bad smell days far outnumber the non smell days. Any
ideas? Thanks.
