    I'm gonna be honest here but the old cast that was 3/4 built up on all walls let me pass a snake so I'm sure I could snake this hot mess if needed.....no issue and meets my locality code to be honest

    Tub drain venting question

    Just did that arrangement 2 weeks ago replacing what was already there due to a leak at tub drain and trap. It's strictly a dry vent that branches from the main vent (a re-vent I guess pro's call it) in the attic. Moving it closer to the trap to one side presents a problem with current water...
