    2nd Story Bathroom Venting

    Put the kids in again last night, no leaks... What is going on here? I don't want to seal everything back up only to have a leak again. I'm thinking since the new plumbing access is above the basement stairs i'll just put a panel in rather than repair the drywall.

    2nd Story Bathroom Venting

    Hi all, I'm finishing a bathroom on the 2nd floor of my 1915 home. The previous owner added the rough-in plumbing and I was wondering if the vent will work properly. I think I was mostly worried about the toilet pulling the p-traps but now i'm wondering how well the tub and sink will...
