Noticed that this house we recently bought, the toilet in teh master bath flushes weak and today it made a crazy swishing vortex noise. I went into the attic and saw that one of the stack vents that goes out the roof, had white tape over one of the Y joints. The white tape revealed an area that was straight up missing, it seems the previous owner didnt want to replace the Y with new PVC but instead covered it up with white tape.
Will this cause a plumbing or flush issue or is the purpose of the stack vent to only push gas out of the house to the roof? I assume tape will do the job if thats the case, but not sure it will keep any type of pressure in the pipe. Please advise
