I recently purchased a property , built in 1977 and every time its windy outside it smell like sewer inside. How can I fix this ? I found in an article that it could be because of a septic tank nearby?

Toilet seal is def not the problem. I called a plumber once and he said he can't smell anything and charged me $200. The issue is the smell is not present all the time.

Could it be environmental? Any creeks, stormwater drains or water treatment plants nearby?

I live in inner Melbourne and sometimes when the wind is coming in the right direction the area just stinks.
