What is this tube sticking out of my roof?
Posted On: September 30, 2023

I'm not sure what kind of vent this is for, but I'm wondering if its supposed to have a cap to protect from rain.


Sorry for lack of description. I'm completely ignorant to whatever this is.


If it helps at all, I have two turbines on my house plus this pipe. So I know it's not for venting the attic. My guess is its for the bathroom vents maybe?


Question from user hack3rfx at stackexchange


Answer:

Almost certainly a vent for plumbing. It connects to the sewer, so it doesn't need a cap. It's highly likely there's a sink or other fixture nearly below it.
