    Smelly Sewer Vent
    I have a sewer vent coming out of the house that smells bad, I snaked the drain from the clean out to the street and it is clear. Would another blockage somewhere be causing this or something else? Reason I know about the smell is I have a swamp cooler on the roof and it blows into the cooler.
