Every building has a "stink pipe." Usually located on the roof these pipes vent air to allow the Plumbing drains inside the building to work correctly. As water flows into a plumbing drain pipe, air is vented out of the drain through the "stink pipe." The pipe that goes from the bottom of the back of your toilet, up the side of your house to let any gases produced by the waste escape into the air instead of bubbling back up through your toilet and sticking up your house.
