I have read several recommendations to use bleach or baking soda/vinegar to help eliminate sewer odor from drains and wanted to make sure of the appropriate application before sending these chemicals into my system. I have house built in ’39 with a concrete floor basement. Where the main drain line comes down the side of the house in the basement there is 1 foot by 1 foot grilled hole that is what I’m guessing a sewer vent. I am starting to get a strong sewer smell from the vent and have noticed some mold growing on top (it is not in the most accessible spot or I would have noticed earlier). Should I pour bleach down the vent to kill the smell and if so how much would be appropriate? Thanks for any feedback.

Bleach works BUT water jetting works better without the use of chemicals

This sounds like this a floor drain, if so make sure there is water in it.
