I have been browsing around this site for several days trying to find the answer to my question, havn't really found anything so I will just put it out there.
We have inherited the house I grew up in. I don't know how old it is, my dad moved it into town over 30 years ago. We have started doing some work on it and had to change out the water lines. While spending so much time under the house, I got to looking at the drainage/vent lines. There is NO line that runs out the roof. There is however a line that runs up the side of the house approx 8-9 ft that connects with the drainage lines. Does this serve the same function? Does this need to be changed? And do you have to have a vent pipe that goes out the roof?
I can remember the toilet bubbling whenever the washing maching was draining, but thats about all I can remember. My dad has passed away so I cant ask him the reasoning for doing it that way.
Sorry if this is too vague. Thanks for your input.
