Hello,
I am helping a friend redo a basement bathroom. The old bathroom appears to never have been vented, so I will need to add some kind of venting. The problem is that there is no real way to get a pipe thru the first floor up thru the roof to vent it. Is it possible that it can be vented out the exterior basement wall thru the rim joist as long as it is not near any windows? If this is not possible, I guess my only choice would be to use an AAV?
We are in WV which seems to use the 2009 IPC. However, there is no inspections done as this is outside of city limits. So we are not to concerned with what exactly the code specifies, but more concerned with using a method that is proven and will work.
Thanks...
