Lately I have been smelling the scent of sewer gas coming from the attic area of the house. Any suggestions as to where this is coming from and how to correct it?

I think there's a vent pipe through the roof to help with flushing. Maybe there's a hole in it up there?

It doesn't seem to be directly related to flushing in terms of when it smells worst. It was especially bad tonight after a heavy rain. Please advise.
