Best Answer

first you have to calculate the circumfrance of the 4 inch dryer pipe. Then once you have calculated that you must do the answer times by the hole in which is designated in the roof. This answer will then tell you how easily it will actually be to fit the dryer pipe through the roof. if the answer is higher then 10 you must make the hole in the roof larger. Then reed it through and lock it in place. Then you can dry as many things as you like.

How do you get a squirrel out of a roof vent pipe?

When a squirrel got down my kitchen range vent pipe it made quite a racket. I went up on the roof, pulled the top off the vent pipe and dropped the end of a thick tow rope down the pipe. About two minutes later the squirrel came scooting up the rope and out of the pipe. I then put metal hardware cloth (a metal screen with about 1/4 inch holes) inside the cap so no future squirrel could get in.

Where does upstairs sink water and shower water drain to?

There is a main drain that runs from the basement through the roof where it is the vent for the system. If you look at the layout of the house, the upstairs bath is most likely over the downstairs one or the kitchen. If you look on the roof, you will see a 4 inch pipe coming through the roof that should be over the upstairs bath. The sink and shower drain into that and then to the basement and out of the house. Most likely the main stack is in the wall behind the toilet.

If your stench pipe terminates inside the building how can the system be vented?

I haven't heard it called THAT before. Most of the time it's called a "vent" pipe. Anyway, they typically vent to the outside, straight up through the roof. Anything else is in violation of building and public health codes. You can ventilate the pipe with an air admittance valve . A device which lets air in but not the smell out . It would save having to go through the roof e.t.c.
