Hello all. I got some great info for may last project I figured I would try again with this one.
We have a 1.5 story house with 1/2 basement. Waist line exits to the street out the front. I also built a wet wall so I had room to get new vent and waist line to the roof and second story.
We are doing a major remodel of the kitchen and main bath. Contractor is replacing the back wall and back 1/2 of the roof. He is doing the construction and I am doing the pluming work. The project is permitted and will be inspected. We are replacing all of the pluming with PVC and adding vents to the kitchen and bath. I have a pretty good idea of what to do if I DON'T do an upstairs bath room but we want one so here goes.
Is it a problem that the second story bath would be at the same level as the main vent stack opening? I was planing on using the main vent stack to vent the upstairs toilet too. The sink and tub would get there own vent.
The second question is would I need 2 pipes from the basement? One for a vent and one for drain? or can I combine the two as a wet vent? If I need two pipes could I combine the two before I exit the roof to ovoid 2 penetrations within a foot of each other?
Thank you.
