vent

My old second-floor toilet releases a big burp of air at the beginning of every flush. Flush is not too strong either. Faucet and tub seem to drain fine in same bathroom. What should I be looking at first? Blocked vent? Partially blocked drain?

I just removed a jacuzzi and want to add a stackable washable dryer in the corner of the room (see pic). I have enough depth to build out another wall in front of the exterior wall for the plumbing. Can someone help me understand how to get from the stand pipe/ptrap which will be on the wall...

We recently bought an older condo that has an under kitchen sink 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...

I have a shower that has had issues for a long time with sewer smell. I figured out that under the shower pan after the p-trap is probably an s-trap. Then the drain pipe goes outside. The shower drain is 15 inches to the outside of the house, where I could vent it pretty easily. If put a vent on...

I'm trying to get a wall hung toilet installed in my condo but failed permit review because as I understand it, the wet vented drain for the WC has to be at the same elevation or lower than other wet vented plumbing group fixtures such as the shower. Review Comment: "Bathroom, relocated toilet...

Hello, I was wondering what's the easiest (legal) way to tie my future basement sink to the ejector pit? I attached a screenshot and a PDF as well. I currently have a floor drain with a vent just downstream shown in blue (I'm assuming because the line is over 15ft long). Can I tie into the...

Hello everyone, I am doing a remodel and have tied my new bath drain into a conveniently placed existing vent. Based on my research I thought it would be okay in this circumstance but am now questioning the setup and looking for a second or third opinion. The new bath drain ties into the...

I had a guy to install a soaker tub and faucet in my master bathroom. He jumped ship before job was barely started. So now instead of being out any more money, I figured I would try and do it myself. I am adept at plumbing work - but have never installed a tub before. I've never installed a...

I am renovating a bathroom and the drain is coming from the side. This was done because the vent stack is on that side wall. The wall directly behind the vanity would be an outer wall. Refer to the images attached for clearer view. I am planning to put an Ikea Godmorgan vanity with drawers. I...

I am building a small cabin and would like feedback on my planned plumbing (see diagram). There's only 1 bathroom (lav, WC, shower) and a kitchen sink. Because of space restrictions, I'm wet venting some fixtures. This is the part I'm most iffy about, so any feedback on that specifically would...

Toilet tank burps and does not flush completely. Here’s what we we have done so far trying to rectify the problem. Bucket of water dumped in the toilet flushes completely, no apparent blockage. Other toilet and drains run freely. Vent water jet cleaned, good suction felt at vent intake when...

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...

Hi all, Looking for wisdom regarding configuration before I drywall. Is there any watch outs with this setup? Should I tee in a vent at beginning of line? House is 8 years old in Canada. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to plumb a sink a toilet in an old laundry room location. The old laundry room has a drain that goes into a pit. I know I have to dig up the floor to get a toilet pipe in to run to the pit in the floor. The pit is located behind the slop sink. There already is an existing vent in the...

Could I benefit from a local valve vent to help with my slow drain? Single sink drain system, but note the height of the rear wall outlet to the disposal. Whole system is vented thru the roof.

I recently had my washer/dryer room renovated, and when I started using the dryer, the transition hose ripped. I noticed that my contractor ran the entire length of the transition hose through my wall (picture attached - the red markup is a photoshopped rendition). Is this legal? How dangerous...

Hello, I want to add a bend to my vent stack before it goes through the roof. Is this ok to do? The vent serves one shower drain and one toilet drain. See photo. Green is what it does currently. NOTE: I'd like to REMOVE the GREEN LINE entirely, and replace with the yellow line. Will this still...

Hello, I'm planning on removing this wall and moving the vent that is currently housed there. I'm wondering though what is the best way to relocate the vertical part over about a foot and a half so that I can eliminate the wall that is sticking out so I can put a larger vanity in. I want to...

My first plumbing project and I could use some help. This 10x10 bathroom has 2 sinks, 1 toilet and 2 shower drains. Is the single vent on the main sewer sufficient or do I need an independent vent on any of these fixtures?

I had to demo a bathroom laundry area due to a leak in my 70 year old house, now I am taking the opportunity to remodel. I am an intrepid diy’er, if I have a plan and I know the steps, I can do the work. I have included a photo to show roughly the plan of where I’d like to put things. The pipe...
