Looking for some help here...
My washing machine has a standpipe that is about 33" and goes out of the house and into the ground into its own waste drain (underground). It does not drain into our main stack. We are getting a little smell from the top of the standpipe. The setup does not have a "p" trap. Here are my questions:
1) Should I install a "p" trap to eliminate the smell?
2) Do I need to install a vent on this? If so, how do I do that?
3) If I installed a Air Admittance Valve (AAV), would that replace the vent option?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
