Yes, sink pipes can be vented outside the house instead of through the roof, but this must be done according to local Plumbing codes. Proper venting is essential to ensure that air can enter the plumbing system, preventing vacuum formation and allowing wastewater to flow freely. However, venting outside can lead to issues like freezing in colder climates or odors if not designed correctly. Always consult a licensed plumber before making modifications to your plumbing system.
