I had hoped to be able to run my drain tie-in under that block but it turns out they did proper footings so that was not an option hence running it through the closet of the bedroom.

I appreciate the acknowledgement of the design, that's what I was looking for...I didn't mean to be snarky. I can snake the line again and will but I just had a bad feeling I messed up. Do you think it worth hiring a proper cleanout (rooter) or will my manual snake suffice?

Right. It's not a blockage downstream. The line was snaked just over a month ago, we have not been using it for laundry and there are only two adults in the house. The only thing on the line in use is a kitchen sink, we don't have a disposal and we are careful not to send food scraps down the...

The block wall is the same wall in the first two pictures...see the overhead view. The line was snaked in the last two months. We did have a long day of rain leading up to the laundry maiden voyage but I can't worry about the weather when laundry time happens for some in the house.

Hi people smarter than me. I recently re-did my drain and vent situation (up kitchen, down kitchen and laundry room). Everything was fine with the upstairs kitchen but then I completed the laundry room and ran the washer. I had water coming out the future kitchen sink then the future laundry...

With the two combos on top of each other I would be too tall even if I go through the joists. They are not the best joists to begin with, they have been "customized" over the years. I am actually going to be blocking throughout so the AAV route helps that too, less to work around. Thanks guys, I...

NOOO!!! Yeah, you're probably right. Man, it feels like quitting though. Any input on a good one?

Okay, if there is anyone with me...here is another idea. The middle portion of this drawing is an overhead view sort of. My plan is to tie in the island drain to the downstairs kitchen drain (under the p trap). I planned on running the island vent (dotted line) separate and meeting up with the...

Hey Wayne, thanks for sharing. I think the advantage you have over me...if we wanna call it that...is that opposite direction. That seems to be an issue for me, that and the 8" joists that are perpendicular. I am starting to consider the AAV...sure would like a cocktail right now at that island...

My drain and vent run in the same direction, then split 45 or so. My joists are perpendicular to the island vent so I need to get below them with as little contraption as possible. That's why I am abandoning my original drawing. The upward (or downward) wye could do that but it doesn't seem...

Yup, I have the cleanout in the island vent under the sink, tough to see but it is in the first picture, just below the p-trap adapter. I am a little confused, I can put a wye where the last combo is and then the combo? or do I add a wye after the combo and twist it so the drain goes one way...

Hello, long time reader, first time poster! I really like this site and appreciate Terry and all the other guiding lights here. Thank you. I wasn't sure if I should join an existing thread or start one, I couldn't find a recent one that made sense so new thread. Apologies if this is not cool. I...
