I know, I know, asking for advice on ODT...anyway...
Today, the master bathtub, shower, toilet all stopped up. Bad, bad. Took a 25' snake and still couldn't get it cleared. Plunging the toilet made all the toilet drainage back up through the shower. Disgusting.
Walked away for 30 minutes, all of a sudden heard it just drain, clog must have loosened.
Go out in the hallway (the other side of the wall where the toilet and the sinks are) that's about 20' long and water is seeping between the laminate when you walk on it.
Pulled all the laminate up. The entire hallway was wet underneath the boards. I'm on a slab. Where could the water have been coming from? I cut the sheetrock where the drain and vent is for the double lavatories. I didn't find any signs in the wall there. I didn't expect to find any but it was the easiest place to start.
The shower and tub vent is on the exterior wall. I couldn't find the vent for the toilet. Not sure if it ties into the vent for the sinks?
So my thinking is that water will take the path of least resistance. So if the clog is gone (and hopefully doesn't come back) then I can put the flooring back down and keep my fingers crossed?
Or do I need to tear the rest of the sheetrock off and find the toilet vent? Being on a slab, I really don't want to bust up concrete if I don't need to.
Thoughts???
