Hello all,
So I replace part of my Sink drain yesterday. It's was old cast iron and it got replaced with new PVC. I noticed my vent line coming off the Tee was not attached to anything. It appears to terminate in the wall behind my kitchen cabinets. I saw no sign of it going into the attic or out of the roof. I initially assumed it tied into the washer drain vent which is located about 10 feet away along the same wall. The kitchen sink vent pipe was freely moving in the wall and not very accessable. Will sewer gases vent into my wall space. It may have been this way for years and I've not noticed any smells.
I've uploaded before and after images of the repair. The right of the Tee leads to the sink. Top is vent. Bottom is drain.
Thanks
