Smelly Stink Pipe Questions


I've got a friend whose got some odor issues around the entry to his home. I noticed it when i came over today.
It's coming from his vent off the roof and settling on ground level and is very strong. What could be some possible issues?

No I wouldn't think so , it maybe the lid on it isn't very tight and the smell is coming out there , you said its coming from the vent off the roof I bet its not all the time either , When the air gets heavy it tends to push the gases down and that maybe the problem .
