Hi all,
We recently had our house remodeled and built 2 new bathrooms. There is a really bad smell coming from one of the bathrooms, apparently from the tub. The more we use the bathroom, the worse it smells. We tried vinegar, etc., but it appears to be an incorrect plumbing. The contractor keeps saying it's fine.
I have attached a picture that I took from the crawl space.
The pipe on the left is the vent pipe that goes to the roof and vents outside.
The pipe next to that one is the pipe coming from the tub. This one has the p trap that connects to the long one. The long pipe is the main pipe that connects to the sewer.
The toilet is also connected (not pictured) to the main pipe to the sewer. Same thing with the sink.
There is no other vent pipe for the whole system, so the washer and dryer connects there, the other bathroom and the kitchen as well.
Is that vent connected in the wrong place?
Thanks a lot!
