    Sewer Gas Smell In Attic?
    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.

    Here's a couple sites to check till someone with more experience has an answer:

    Toilet and Island Vent Illustrations

    Sorry I couldn't help more.
