we have installed an American Standard Cadet in the basement and the builder did not put a vent in the upstairs toilet line. I've read here about problems with the Cadet and am wondering if the toilet is the actual problem. What happens is when the upstairs toilet is flushed, water splashes upward in the bowl of the Cadet, enough to leave water on the inside of the seat cover.
This is all concrete and block construction, so what's done is done.
We installed a vent with a "y" pipe below the upstairs toilet, as high as possible, but it doesn't help. It's a screen placed over the "y" opening. Would covering it help?
Both toilets share a common 3" pipe, which runs outside the wall just below the upper floor, but the rest of the pipes are buried in either the walls or 5" of concrete floor.
Upstairs model is Glacier Bay, 1.28 lpf, and both models were purchased in 2011.
