Hate to say it but Im kinda hoping this will be my last post here for a while. A long while I hope :) What I ended up doing was getting an adapter/collar ( 3 inch cause 3 inch vent pipe ) ( cant remember the technical name but it could join two pipes together by fitting inside each pipe for a...

Id also like to know what caused this? Is this typical of these iron pipes? Are all the rest in the house the same possibly? Nothing would get this high up except rain water and why the straight vein?

Maybe no-one is interested to follow this topic any longer but I am adding to it cause hopefully it will help someone down the road. Taped up the fracture that I mentioned above. I wanted to be certain that was the entire issue. It was NOT! Still the flies. Been looking carefully over the...

Still on-going, what I have done to prove too myself where the issue was coming from ......I taped the areas in which I had altered. Figured that I would find flies stuck to the tape even though upon careful inspection I had zero reason too believe that my silicone patchwork had failed. Sure...

A/C drains to the outside of home via PVC pipe

Today I finally got around to getting that tile off, maybe an hours work. The more I look at it the more I wonder if I did not bother to seal the plug at the front of the pipe as can be seen in the picture, to be honest I had forgotten that I had even plugged that hole with the PVC fixture. I...

Yup I see that as well, and thanks to everyone that has contributed to this post.

Thanks for the drawings, clear now, the other side of the wall is the same tile but their is also a toilet there in the way.

Can one of you guys explain to me how these exhaust vents are intertwined with the septic typically. Home built in 1971 ) Are there P traps for these exhaust pipes or do these exhaust pipes run directly down to ??? and then just exhaust out the roof. ' Thanks

This is bringing back memories, thanks for the drawing and the description, we did talk about this, the issue we had was going from the ( approx ) 4 inch vent pipe down to the 1 1/4 drain pipe, too many reducers in a small tight area. Most everything I do I go overboard with, I re-lined ALL...

Thanks for the advice and tips, Ill get it one way or another

In a nutshell this is what I did, I am clear that this is making some cringe, thanks for not making any unsavory comments.

Havent seen any movement to speak of in days, this A.M I removed the tape in the one area ( the sliding divider door that shows a few stuck to it ) that I suspected. This evening the bathroom covered up with flies. Ok this is where it gets embarrassing. About 2 years ago I completed a major...

Killed 4 flies this A.M, maybe the rain will bring them back, at this point I have no idea where they are coming from, not enough of them. Who knows when it will rain next, will update what I find.

Yes I did and they are still taped, Im hoping that something will break soon and I will be flooded with them again

Got home too late tonight for pictures, one this if for sure and that is I pissed away alot of money on drain cleaners for nothing, that drain has been taped up nearly a week now and not a single fly, punched holes this A.M in the tape ( very small holes ) and still no change. Whats next? Any...

Drain flies are not appearing on any tape with the exception of two stuck to the joint of the sliding hidden door I had mentioned. I have been killing a few, this A.M I, maybe 4, do not know where they are coming from except that there are quite a few of them stuck in between the windows and...

Update: As mentioned I came home two days ago to two bathrooms full of flies, I prob. spent an hour chasing and killing all that I could see. As mentioned decided to get serious with this, taped up the drain that I suspected and a couple of other drains that I thought what the hell on. Since...

Number of lies has again been slowly increasing, today I came home and the numbers had tripled, I prob. killed ( no exaggerating ) 75 flies between the two connected bathrooms. I am certain that they are coming from the one bathtub drain cause that is where they are most in numbers however I...
