I'm replacing a shower that the prev owners let leak and rot the walls (tile floor, no liner). While I'm replacing walls, I'm going to move the interior wall to increase the shower size (38x60).
Two things have come up, first, the orig vent came up through the slab into the wall I'm moving, so the vent will either have to move as well or be plugged. Their is another vent less than 5' away shared with the rest of the bathroom (single vanity and a toilet). Also, the septic tank inlet is about 5' away on the other side. Do I really need to move this vent or can I cut it flush and plug it? Second question, what's the best way to remove the existing mortar/tile drain flange without destroying the pipe?
more pics for better detail and perspective, the far wall (with the temp copper running out to the hose bib) is exterior, septic is on other side
