Howdy ya'll, happy New Year!
I am looking for advice on how to improve my current venting setup on a washing machine that is connected to a running trap.
This is your typical Texas slab on grade house and the slab has post-tensioned cables in it. The plan diagram below shows how the washing machine is connected to the kitchen sink waste line via a running trap. The kitchen sink is about 10' away from the washing machine.
The previous homeowner rigged a 3/4" PVC vent that pokes out the exterior wall and vents to the backyard.
I would like to add a vent up through the roof but am not sure how that can be done with the running trap. My understanding is that the vent should connect downstream of the trap to avoid siphoning concerns. Is there a way to add a vent to the roof in the current setup I have?
