In the course of a bathroom remodel the plumber cut the soil stack to allow the addition of two new drain lines. In the section that was removed it is easy to see that the accumulated build up on the inside of the stack has reduced the capacity by half or more. Right now there are no blockages but it seems that we're headed in that direction. The house is about 60+ yrs old.
Should anything be done now to prevent problems in the future. I'm a little worried that agressive action will create a blockage. Is there some way to do regular treatments to slowly eliminate the buildup?
