I have a toilet, tub and lav that was installed by a previous owner in my basement. Nearby is the utility room containing the washer and a slop sink, also a floor drain.
I recently got water up through the tub drain during a heavy rain, flooding the bathroom. There was eveidence that this had happened previously once I really starting investigating. I am remodeling the basement and want to fix the problem, so I removed the tub and will not be replacing it. I am relocating the lav and will be connecting it into the vent stack, however the toilet does not have a dry vent. When the washer drains into the slop sink the toilet is bubbling and when the basement was flooded and water was going down the floor drain it was backing up back into the basement via the tub drain.
I will be capping the tub drain in the floor but am wondering if there is anything I can do about the toilet burping when the slop sink in draining. The toilet is approx. 7-8' from the stack, am I reaching the limit if what a wet vent can handle or is there something else going on?
