Plumbing:
There are three waste stacks that pass through each unit. Lateral pipes running though the unit attach to these stacks. These lateral stacks are to be maintained by each owner. Below is the configuration of the lateral pipes. This may help should you have a blockage:
- Guest bathroom toilet sovent stack attaches through lateral pipes to your guest bathroom bathtub/shower and sink. It also attaches to the two sinks in the master bathroom. There is about a 15 foot span from the furthest sink in the master bathroom to this sovent stack. If you have an inside unit, a lateral pipe from this sovent stack also attaches to the shower drain in the master bathroom.
- Master bathroom toilet sovent stack attaches through a lateral pipe to the bathtub drain in the master bathroom on an inside unit and the shower drain on an outside unit.
- The kitchen sink stack attaches through a lateral pipe to the kitchen sink drain. This stack is located about 7 or 8 feet from your sink on the small wall attached to the counter peninsula in your kitchen.
