stink pipe? any fixture connected to any drain line in your home should be sealed off from any sewer smell from a trap, and yes if you have a trap it should have water in it. If its a floor drain that isn't used much I recommend you pour a little bit of vegetable oil down it after you pour water and that seems to correct a trap going dry for a long time.
