Sanitary t in attic.

I see situations around like this sometimes. If you work carefully you won t disturb the roof flashing. Another important thing about plumbing vents. Studor aavs installed in attic area must be located a minimum of six 6 inches above the ceiling insulation.

The use of tec vent in return air plenums shall be allowed only in engineered drainage systems designed by a design professional and approved by the local authority. The first would be a bathroom or kitchen in that part of the house and the other would be a pressurized drain system with pipes. The best way to get rid of rats and mice is to use the classic wooden snap traps or bait traps. Roof rats aka black rats often build nests in attics.

If you have no other vents in the house and this is the only vent going through the roof the last t the upper most one before exiting the roof needs to be a 3 x 2 x 2 t and not a 2 with an increaser reducer after it. Still it s a good idea to spray the flashing area on your roof with a garden hose. During the attic sanitation and decontamination process you will first want to perform a thorough deep cleaning. Because they need water daily they tend to nest where water is readily accessible.

A professional attic cleaning company will scrub the attic with brushes sponges water and other cleaning solutions. Only two plumbing set ups could require sewer pipes in the attic. Then check the attic to make sure there are no other leaks. Possums and raccoons leave behind much more waste than rats.

Although our prices for attic cleaning and decontamination are very competitive several factors determine how extensive the damage is including the layout of your attic the length of the infestation how many rodents occupied your attic and the type of rodent. There are 3 vents in one area and 2 in another. You ll probably have to go to a plumbing supply store to find the 3 in to 4 in. Or in many cases it can tee into the home s existing venting system.
