Why Does a Plumbing System Need a Vent?
Have you ever noticed a pipe sticking out of the roof of your home? In short, that’s a plumbing vent. Plumbing vents help move water quickly through your pipes and keep sewer gases from entering your home. All home plumbing systems need vents to function properly. Washing machines, kitchen sinks, toilets, and tubs require plumbing vents.
