Sanitary T In Attic

I have a customer that we are doing some work in the attic for and i noticed yesterday that the plumbing is vented up into the attic phew and not thru the roof.

Sanitary t in attic.

A professional attic cleaning company will scrub the attic with brushes sponges water and other cleaning solutions. If you have no other vents in the house and this is the only vent going through the roof the last t the upper most one before exiting the roof needs to be a 3 x 2 x 2 t and not a 2 with an increaser reducer after it. You ll probably have to go to a plumbing supply store to find the 3 in to 4 in. Although our prices for attic cleaning and decontamination are very competitive several factors determine how extensive the damage is including the layout of your attic the length of the infestation how many rodents occupied your attic and the type of rodent.

I see situations around like this sometimes. Roof rats aka black rats often build nests in attics. The best way to get rid of rats and mice is to use the classic wooden snap traps or bait traps. Still it s a good idea to spray the flashing area on your roof with a garden hose.

Only two plumbing set ups could require sewer pipes in the attic. The first would be a bathroom or kitchen in that part of the house and the other would be a pressurized drain system with pipes. Studor aavs installed in attic area must be located a minimum of six 6 inches above the ceiling insulation. Or in many cases it can tee into the home s existing venting system.

The use of tec vent in return air plenums shall be allowed only in engineered drainage systems designed by a design professional and approved by the local authority. If you work carefully you won t disturb the roof flashing. In the ipc use a 1 5 sanitary tee upside down or in the upc use a 2 x2 x1 5 san tee upside down to make this connection. There are 3 vents in one area and 2 in another.

Then check the attic to make sure there are no other leaks. Then this vent can terminate through the roof all on its own. This will help remove dust and dirt which has inevitably collected over the years. Another important thing about plumbing vents.
