Vent Freezing

Mattyford · Feb 16, 2008

My drain vent that exits up on the roof of the house slowly freezes up during the course of winter. This ends up being noticeable by flushing the toilets!
any ideas/suggestions on how to keep this pipe from icing up???? thanks...

vents

I am not sure how it would be noticeable by flushing the toilets, because they are the only fixtures that do not really need a vent and flush better without one.

small vent or cold climate????

I suppose you could go up onthe roof every so
often and throw a handful of morton salt pellets
into that vent stack..... that would break it loose

In the warmer weather,increase vent size through roof and insulate.
