I thought I was nearing the end of a bathroom renovation, which included replacing a tiny corner shower. After removing the old shower, I discovered the floor was rotting underneath it, so I cut away the floor down to the joists and replaced the rotted subfloor. While the floor was open, I stuck my camera into the crawlspace and took some pictures of the vicinity.
Now, toward the end of the renovation, which included putting down a new vinyl plank floor, I was studying those photographs and discovered that the wye connecting the toilet stack to its vent is broken. I can only think it broke because of the floor shifting, which I know has occurred. This is north Texas where the ground shifts seasonally. One month, doors stick or won't latch, six months later, they're fine.
I figure I'll have to tear up the floor at the toilet to replace that wye. That crawlspace is non-navigable. Anyone have any helpful tips?
