I have done this and my drain is super fucking loud still lol
My bathtub gurgling has changed how to fix
You may need to open the wall behind the drain or ceiling below the drain (on the floor below) to see what is going on. This is hard if your drain is in the basement and on an exterior wall with tile on the inside. If you do install such a vent check with your local codes. Where I live, it can even be installed within a wall, provided it is accessible. Does the drain ever smell bad after a short period of time with no water coming through? Do you have photos of when the work was done? The noise is generally not the problem. The sewer gasses coming through are what we're trying to avoid. Hope this helps!
Please could you let me know if this can be done with an S trap
Hi Cathy L. Yes but I would recommend replacing the S trap with a P trap and the Studor Vent if you have the room for it. The materials and labor should be inexpensive.
sure
That's why you put a vent after the trap dur
Yes, the trap will keep sewer gasses from getting into the home but we need to keep the water in the trap. A vent through the roof is ideal but sometimes, like in a kitchen island, we need another option.
Sorry but you are giving people the wrong Idea, plumbing should be done per code not just pick the first easy thing there is available. You need a plumber.
Thanks for your comment. We work hard to make sure we're giving sound advice. Air Admittance Systems (eg Studor Vents) are accepted by virtually all national building codes and plumbing codes. My licensed plumber and I agree with you that if possible to take it out the roof, that's a better option. Here's some more research I've done: www.iccsafe.org/building-safety-journal/bsj-technical/codenotes-installation-of-air-admittance-valves/
THE DAF FAMILY, Air admittance valves are approved by the International Residential Code (IRC), which is used in most areas of the country with only minor modifications, but not code approved in a few jurisdictions.Feb 26, 2020. Before you complain, research.
