tHAT SOUNDS LIKE A FLOOR DRAIN. iT SHOUILD HAVE A P-TRAP. iT SOPUNDS LIKE THE TRAP IS LEAKING. THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRAP IS TO CREATE A WATER SEAL TO PREVENT SEWER GAS FROM ENTERING THE HOUSE. iF THE WATER IS GONE THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP THE GAS.THAT DRAIN WAS PROBABLY PUT IN IN CASE OF FLOODING IN THE BASEMENT. YOU CAN SEAL IT BUT PROTECTION FROM WATER PROBLEMS IN THE BASEMENT IS LOST. MAYBE A REMOVABLE PLUG IS THE WAY TO GO
GOOD LUCK
