catch basin smell

My mother lives in a house that's over 100 years old. It has a catch basin under the back stairs and this area is closed to the outside. She has had it cleaned out and it still is emitting a bad odor. She claims all the neighbors that have these catch basins inside their backporches have the same problem. Does anyone know if there is anything I can pour down there to eliminate the smell?

Cool

What is this "catch basin" for and how (where) does it drain?
Rain water? Grease trap?
