Why is this vent stack SO TALL!? #homeinspection

Hey, it's Home Inspector Dan! When it comes to the height of a plumbing vent above an attic ventilation opening, there's a general rule to keep in mind. The plumbing vent should be at least 12 inches above the highest point of the roof's ventilation opening.

This height requirement helps prevent any unwanted odors or gases from the plumbing system from getting trapped in the attic space. By having the vent higher than the roof's ventilation opening, it helps ensure that these gases disperse and don't linger in areas where they shouldn't.

Remember, these rules are there to maintain a safe and functional plumbing system in your home. If you're ever in doubt about the proper installation of a plumbing vent or any other aspect of your home's systems, it's a good idea to consult with a professional like me, Home Inspector Dan, to make sure everything is working as it should!
