Context

This sewer vent stack was installed on January 13, 2026 as one of the final exterior completion tasks. The vent provides necessary air admission for the garage’s plumbing system (floor drain and future bathroom rough-in potential). The roof penetration was sealed and flashed with a vent boot on the exterior metal roof surface.
