Hey guys,
I'm glad I finally figured out how to use this message board. I've been visiting this website for a couple of years and learned a lot just by reading all the threads. Here's my situation. I am moving my washing machine and dryer to the garage. They are currently outside in the backyard. I'm in the process of plumbing the garage. I'm running the air vent up to the attic. I was going to shoot the vent pipe straight up out through the roof. Then I realized that you would see the vent from the street. I began to notice that many homes in my neighborhood have all the vents exiting the roof at the back of the house. Could this be a coincidence or do plumbers intentionally do this to avoid all these pipes from sticking out of the roof in the front of the house? If I decide to route the vent through the attic so it can exit through the back of the house, will the additional turns and length of the ABS pipe affect the efficiency of the venting system? Thank you in advance for your input.
Sincerely,
Eddie the Novice
