Hi
I have a situation of a house with improper vents (I think, anyway). Everything seems to work OK and I don't hear or see or smell any traps being pulled dry. I do notice, that if the toilet is flushed on the second floor, the first floor toilet water bounces. It does that if it is windy out as well. But, I'd prefer the system was as close to proper as possible. Now's a good time, since the areas I'd need to access are open-wall for other work.
I'd like to ask if you all don't mind looking at the drawing I've attached and offer your suggestions or comments. The black is what is there now and the red is what I can do to vent some of the items. For the record, there is no permit on the job, I'd just like to "repair" it to make sure it won't become a problem for us or for a future owner (if I ever sell the place).
Thank you all very much!
