vent issue

Hello experts. I need your help. The basement laundry room in our 1939 home is intermittently letting out significant sewer gas. Enough to smell on the main floor. My hypochondriac wife is not amused and is currently researching hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Not good. Smell is intermittent but...

Master bathroom, two sinks. One has a backdraft of sewage smell daily, the other is fine. It's definitely not mold, but sewage. -The one that smells is used regularly, several times a day. It's not dried out. -The sink drains perfectly fine, not slow. -Smell comes when the water is hot or...

I am renovating my master bathroom and changing the location of the tub. It was originally located where the sink is in the drawing below. The sink will now use that 1.5" line (I didn't even know you could use a 1.5" with a tub?). The new location of the tub is shown below. My concern is that...

I had an island loop installed with my kitchen reno. I opened the vent side cleanout and water poured out. Then there was standing water up to level of the cleanout. So the vent side of the loop isn’t draining. The drain side is draining though. This shouldn’t be possible if the loop was done...

We're adding a bar sink into the basement of our house while we are finishing it. The location is at a place where we can attach to the drain just fine. The issue I am running into is that I am not able to or clearly almost impossible to connect to an existing vent on another end of the basement...

I have a house with an existing basement full bathroom that has also been roughed out for another full bath (with a shower). I want to build out this second bath. For this second bath I don’t know exactly what’s under the concrete but there’s a toilet drain coming to the surface of the concrete...

Bought a house built (poorly) in the 90's. In the master bath, which is on a concrete slab foundation, the toilet has given me issues since moving in. It's an old Proflow 1.2 gal/flush model that was probably the cheap contractor special at the time. Symptoms: - 50% of the time, after...
