Hello and thank you all in advance for the help.
I recently purchased a home that was "flipped" and the plumbing in my opinion was done by someone who dosn't do plumbing or a fool or maybe im wrong and you guys can let me know.
First lets start with the configuration - all fixtures are on the first floor / ground level. with the exception of the laundry traY sink pump and main line exit being located in the basement
2 sinks
1 tub
1 toilet
1 laundry sink ( this sink is below the main line discharge so it is pumped up from a zoeller laundry tray pump)
The only vents are attached to the UPSTAIRS sinks
the kitchen sink as a small 1.5 inch (guess) vent off the back which that runs straight up through the roof
the bathroom has a vent 1.5 (guess) that again runs straight up into the attic which then transitions to a 3 inch that exits the roof
There is no vent on the main 3 inch line/stack
The laundry sink pump was vented to the kitchen sink with some creative piping solutions that are not correct but got the pump to function without air locking.
The toilet is located at the top of the main line
currently all fixtures T into other 1.5 inch and all terminate in one 1.5 line into the main stack, theses to me seems terrible and not correct at all
the bath room sink and tub join together into a 1.5 line which then also joins the kitchen sink and again into a 1.5 line. that 1.5 line runs close to the main stack and is join again by the laundry 1.5 line and T's again into a 1.5 line which then runs over to the mainline
whenever a large amount of water fills any of the 1.5 lines to capacity it causes the toilet to burp / bubble
as you can see vertical space is limited and ill have to re do it.
how should i go about re doing how all the lines tie together and i assume i need to add a vent to the stack.
my plan for adding a vent is to use the opening seen near the bath sink/ tub connections as there is a straight shot of open cavity that i should be able to access from the attic to tie into that existing bath vent in the attic.
ignore the "pipe extender" i ll be using an internal coupler to prevent having to dig up the yard and re set a new pipe in the wall
