The sump/pit pump in my basement tees into the 1-1/2" drain between the bathroom sink and the bathtub. When the pump turns on, the traps in both the sink and the bathtub are siphoned out, and on a few occasions, the pressure from the pump has pushed water back up into the bathtub. Would adding an AAV to the left and/or right of the tee where the pump ties into the drain line prevent this from happening?
I'm guessing there is probably a better to do this, but I have no idea what the recommended method or location would be. Can someone explain what the best way to tie this into the drain would be? Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly), this was installed by a professional plumber.
Thanks in advance!
