I recently mounted a small cabinet over a toilet. I could only locate one stud behind the cabinet and therefore had to use some dry wall anchors. While drilling the holes for the anchors, I hit an ABS vent pipe in the wall. Fortunately, I stopped before I drilled all the way through the vent pipe . But if I had, what would be the proper recourse? The vent pipe in question goes up into the attic crawl space and then makes a 45 degree bend and ties into a 2" vent that extends up through the roof.
It seems like this could be a common occurrence. Would it be necessary to remove the dry wall above the toilet and plug the 1/4" drill hole? What would be the risk that rain water would leak out through the hole?

Steve
