On the other side of that wall is the HVAC room - there is a floor drain in that room too but not sure if it "T's" with this shower drain we're looking at, or if they both just run and dump into the grinder sump and/or regular water sump. I'll confirm which one that floor drain goes to (guessing it's the regular sump pump since no poo should ever get waffle smashed into that floor drain # ; ) ha!
If there is a vent in the grinder sump, would that suffice? Just curious as we had no issues with inspection when we purchased the house in 06.
Cutting more concrete and putting in the AVV into that wall wouldn't be too terrible if we determine thats necessary. On the other side of the HVAC room is the crawl area and easy access to port things outside if needbe.
Thinking back - that bathroom would occasionally smell like poo..but it just rarely gets used and hardly an issue so we would just run water down the pipe or cover the drain as an easy fix.
"you could install a wye in place of the 45 elbow" - do you mean a standard plumbing "Y" piece where it splits the PVC, one side going to the P-trap and shower drain, the other side going into and up the wall to the AVV?
