    Yer it’s wired that it’s only one drain, There could be a jagged edge somewhere down the pipe that could have caught a mass of something that’s slowly rotting away, you can get hand cranked pipe snake there a few metres long, probably 30bucks, might get you outta trouble,

      I am sure the smell is from the sewer and not something rotting. I have noticed when its windy outside that when I notice the smell so definitely sewer. How can I check if theres a P trap in there ? I tried using a torch but can’t really see properly. Should I just cut open the floor drain?

        Is there an outlet vent outside? Check to see that it’s not blocked by something, insect nest, or spider web or something, that’s the only place I can think of that the wind cause possibly get in. If you can get under the house you can see what is going on, maybe a inspection camera? You’d feel it with a drain snake.
