vent pipe

Hi, recently had a leak that was isolated to the bathroom sink. After inspecting it the drain is cracked in the wall it looks like the house shifted and caused the issue. Any recommendations on how to repair this since it seems to be caused by shifting/settling of the house?

Hi All - new to the page and this site is fantastic! Thank you to everyone for you help and guidance. I'm remodelling my master bathroom on the 2nd floor of my house and when I had demo'd everything came across what looks like a wild setup. There was a shower / pony wall combo and then alcove...

Hi, first time posting. I moved into a new house and I want to put a utility sink in the basement. There is already plumbing done that looks to be ready for a sink and toilet to be installed. My main question is with installing the p drain for the sink and if I need to do anything as far as a...

Issue resolved

Hi all, This past Summer we purchased our first house, a split-level from the 1960's. With this purchase we had the sewer line inspected by camera and cleaned a couple months after we moved in. Since we've had the house, the basement toilet splashes when upstairs toilet is flushed. These...

Hello all. I have used this site as a great resource and found enough info to where I think I know the answer, but want to make a unique thread to be sure. Thanks in advance for the help! I am moving my washer and dryer for a basement remodel with the goal putting them side by side and...

I have a slow draining bathtub and I believe the problem is inadequate venting. The bathroom is located in an area that is similar to a basement. It’s a hillside house and the back wall and part of the sides of the first floor are concrete. When the plumber did the work, many years ago, AAVs...

I was left with the setup in the attached photo from the previous owner; if I were to install an up-flush toilet to discharge to the 'proposed toilet discharge', will it vent properly given the current setup and be to code? There was already a sink there (took it out for the photo) that was...

I'm adding a master bathroom to my basement. I've done some research on vent design but I feel like my design isn't as simple as it could be, so I was hoping you guys could review it. Could I somehow tie the shower drain into the toilet drain and vent them both together before tying into the...

New member here. I know HVAC, but nothing about plumbing. Here's my problem: I own a '98 double wide. Nothing has been done to the plumbing since I bought the house. The washer we've had for 3 years has always drained fine, but made the sink make a horrible gurgling noise . The other day, while...

I'm doing a renovation and I'm installing a new sink. For some reason I can't wrap my head around how to properly vent the drain. I ripped open the wall behind the toilet and found two pipes, one I'm assuming is the toilet drain and the other, the vent. Which pipe do I drain the sink into? A...

hi I want to create a sealed cover for my sump pump pit to keep gases out. So, I read if you are going to seal your sump pump cover, you should have a vent pipe/line. (I do have vent HOLE drilled in pipe) I have 2 pvc pipes running from my pit 1 -main pump connects to pvc line with check valve...

In trying to do the right thing by my better half, I promised to at least scope the ability to move the toilet (swap with vanity) in a small bath, which needs to be relocated more or less 3~3.5 ft. but over 2 joist bays. The only way I could see doing this (because we don't have enough meat on...

Bought an old house with one bathroom on the first floor. There is a large closet on the second floor that is directly above the first floor bathroom. There is a 3 inch cast iron vent pipe (that goes through the roof) that is tied into the kitchen sink and the existing first floor bathroom and...
