Thanks! It's a tub with a built-in overflow, so my thought is to replace the drain with a vertical run into a p-trap then into a shielded furnco to the copper line... this would eliminate the horizontal zig zag... any issue with that approach?

My mother-in-law has a rental property that reported having a super slow leak coming from the bathroom drain into the basement. All of the plumbing has access from the basement with ease. I can see the gasket between the tub is starting to fail, no problem. But is this setup of plumbing allowed...

Another question, the green line outside of the bathroom is the horizontal vent line. So would it be ok for the vent to go vertical all the way into the attic and then go horizontal to connect to the stack vent (red) versus connecting in the stud walls? Seems like a lot less drilling and tight...

Thank you for the detailed response! It is very close to what I was thinking but I wanted to be sure! I greatly appreciate it!

Great question. Looking at the pictures, the joists run left to right and are 2x10s

I want to rearrange our guest bathroom. The layout makes the room feel tight. I've attached a diagram showing the current plumbing and layout and the proposed layout. I'd ideally want to remove the wall that the tub vent rises through to open up the bathroom. I'm not restricted by any of the...
