I hired a plumber to inspect a new construction house that I'm buying. His report says that many of the plumbing fixtures do not have vents. I'm wondering if it might be possible that the house is wet vented?
I'm trying to get in touch with him but he's out on a job… hopefully he will call me back soon. In the meantime, I am curious to hear opinions on this matter. I can't imagine he would have not noticed if the house is wet vented, but I also can't imagine that the builder omitted vents.
Here is what the report said:
-- Master bath stool and shower not vented. There is only 1.5" vent coming into the attic for the master bath.
-- 2nd bathroom. Stool and shower/tub not vented. We believe the sink is vented, but can't see with the blown insulation. It also appears to have only an 1.5" vent coming into the attic.
-- Laundry has no vents for laundry sink or washer drain visible in attic.
-- The only fixtures that appear to be vented are the kitchen sink, master sink, and possibly the second bathroom.
