Bump!, so no one has seen an electrical vent :confused:

My vent goes to the outside through my garage. I have tried several vents over the years but tossed them because of excessive lint buildup which keeps the vent flap open (till I noticed that...

I've got a plumber coming in this week as part a kitchen remodel, so I'll ask him if he can do this for me.

BTW the two toilets did the double plug up again yesterday, first one filled up to the...

Thanks for the recommendation.

What worries me though is if it's not blocked when they come out, how do they know where to look, or how do I know they fixed anything. Do plumbers have video now...

My second floor has two bathrooms side by side. The arrangement is sink, toilet, bathtub, separating wall, then bathtub, toilet, sink. The toilets get plugged once in awhile (especially when there...

What would you recommend at this time given that the toilets appear to be working now. I guess I am asking if there is antthing a plumber can do today, to prevent this from happening again. ...

My saga continues with these dang toilets and I would like your opinion on this situation.

Friday morning I tried to flush a small dump and the toilet filled up and wouldn't go down. So I got...

Thanks Cass, one other option I could have is the following, there are side of the house intake & also vent for my furnace. Would it be in code if I tie into the furnace vent?

My setup is like the 3rd diagram in Terry's post #2. So I will have the sump basin, then a laundry tub and then the washer (which will drain into the sink).

My ? is the vent, can I exit out the...

:confused: After it reaches the...

My problem is that there is no availible vent pipe to tie into. I am right beside a wall that already has a vent & intake for my furnace. So, could I tie into the furnace vent or maybe run a...

On checking out the various hookups I have the gas, water and drain figured out, but from the drawings of the drain sump pumps it seems that I also have to hook up a vent.

As there were no...

Thanks Gary_Swart you hit the nail right on the head.

Also, I would add the non-professional gets even more frustrated when we are disapointed by the failure of a single use device!

Thanks for the really good feedback, I really appreciated the quick and informative responses. :)


However, as to the snide comments tucked into the relies (my take below):

Oh crap!... and I mean that no pun intended :mad:

Any possibility that Flushmate might develop a retrofit kit? as it seems to be what I am looking for.

Thanks Terry, that's just what the doctor ordered :D

I need to relocate a clothes washer and dryer to the basement.

My question is how do I get rid of the water. I have a floor drain into a sump pump to a storm sewer, I am assuming that's a no-no....

I have replaced three toilets this year with new Kohler models. Each of them has gotten plugged up several times. I have even removed two of them to verify that they were installed ok and that...
