I'm building an addition on my home, mostly DIY. I hired a plumber to do the DWV, while I did the hot/cold water. I had a lot of issues with him along the way. I started drywall but before I covered any of the PVC, I wanted to test the system (not code required in my county). I installed plugs, and filled it up. Tons of leaks...everywhere...
So now I'm ripping out all of the old stuff to fix it, myself. I came across this under my standard bathtub drain. The 3" pipe is the main drain line. The other end of the trap runs to the tub drain. So, would this be considered an S-trap??! If so, I want to fix it now.
The closest vent for this tub is a few feet away that also serves as the vent for the double lavatory.
I'm thinking I need to add a vertical vent in this trap arm, at least...?
Thanks,
Tom
