Hi,
I am trying to help a lady at the park problem-solve, she gets bad odors in her home when she uses the washer, and once sludge came up the tub... The park guys say they think her drain line is ok.....
I told her I thought it might be the vent stack? is that the term for the pipe that goes up to the roof? Would she get odors if the drain line was slowing down or plugged? if not vent stack, what is the term I am looking for so I can check the archives......
I have not had a vent stack issue yet (counting my blessings lol) so I do not have first hand knowledge of the odor issue sympthom.
it is getting pretty funny that the phone conversation went as follows, "is the 3 bedroom you are working on for sale? great, I'll tell my sister...now I wondered if you might know what would cause bad odors in my mobile home.... I see you fixing the homes...."
I shared with the lady that I read a mobile home repair website every day so I can be learning. Guess that makes JD, Greg, Mark, Yanita my continuing education professors!
thanks
