    I need to install a drain on my basement sink, and the nearest option is a cleanout. I pasted some images together to illustrate the task. Is it possible to drain into the cleanout?

    Vent help for under sink ProFlo Pump

We’ve figured out that whoever renovated the condo years ago didn’t tie into the condo main stack and they just put a sink in the middle of the room. So in order for it to drain, they added a pump which pumps the water up and...

    Basement bathroom venting question

    We are roughing in a basement bathroom and I need help with venting. It will be very difficult to attach to a stack, so I am looking at AAVs and alternative options. Essentially, unless we rip out walls and go all the way to the ceiling with a new vent, I am left with two options: (1) AAVs, or...

    Toilet installed on rough in - venting issue?

    Hello all. I am finishing up a bathroom in our basement and we were "lucky" to have a rough in already in place. According to blueprints it was 3 pipes. 1 for shower with built in trap, 1 toilet, and 1 sink. We did not add a shower so that one is capped and unused. We added a toilet and a...

    Sewer Smell Under Kitchen Sink

    My house was built in 2011 when I bought it new. I started having sewer smell coming from under the kitchen sink cabinet about 3 years ago. No smell from the sink or dishwasher. I deep clean them regularly. I also don’t have food debris in the dishwasher. I can’t figure out where the sewer...

    Venting with AAVs

    We have a new house under construction, small project for my retirement. I made a short video of the layout, I would greatly appreciate anyone telling me what part of the venting system would violate code: Small change to the video - the inspector said that I needed at least 3" of natural...

    Drop-in replacement for cheap AAV in trailer

    Please see my reply later in the thread for tl;dr. Yeah, I know, "cheap AAV" is probably redundant... An AAV has possibly failed in my 3-year-old double-wide (along with three doorknobs, three stripped-out power outlets (no work boxes), two light switches, and two plastic faucets) and I'm...

    Draining sink & washer to same standpipe?

    All, thanks in advance for the help. I’d like to add a utility sink near my washer. Currently there is one standpipe, shown in the picture and it does not vent through the roof, also no trap. Is it a big deal to drain both a sink and washer into the pipe? I planned to expand left [pic] for the...

    Washer overflows! Help!

    Bought a house. Finally bought a used washer. Hooked it up and it overflows. Set up looks proper to me from what I've researched but I really don't know much about plumbing or AAV.... 2" drain pipes, p-trap, then AAV (instead of roof ventilation). Ran a snake, no clogs. Bought a Drain King...
