What the h--- is wind blocks? And why block the wind that generates the draft to properly vent sewer gases? Must be me.

Do you have a link to the type/brand of wind block you intend to use?

[mikasa]

I don't exactly know either, but I learned that in order to redirect the smell from the patio, this is what I should do.

No, I don't. I found this information online and that's all that was said - extend the vents and install wind blocks.

Well, wind blocks generally interfere with the intended operation of the vent, so I cannot recommend their use.

Is re-routing the vent termination through the attic space so it terminates on the other side of the house an option?

[mikasa]

Thanks for your help iamgrowler. I'll look at that option.

You shouldn't have to extend the vents to install wind blocks. There are several types of wind block/vent caps. This is just one of them,(see image) Regards, Tom
