Smelly Plumbing Vent
I've noticed a strong sewage smell while out and about in my yard for a while now but could never figure out what it was. Last week I had to fix some facia on my roof and got close to the vent from my toilet. I figured out what the smell was. My toilet works fine. The vent seems to be cast iron (my house was built in 1905). How do i make the smell go away?
I will not put plumbing company links in my posts!

1) ur septic is full
2) a animal got into ur vent and died
3) the standards for plumbing were much different in 1905 so perhaps ur toilet was incorrectly vented
