I am planning to remove a wall in my house. In the wall I found a drain from a former bar sink. The plumbing for the bar sink is now gone and the drain pipe heads down into the floor and the vent pipe heads up into the ceiling. I have a concrete slab on grade with no basement and I believe that this drain pipe is the end of the run under my floor slab as it is at the back of the house.
In order to remove the wall I would like to cut and cap the drain pipe at the floor slab (slab on grade – no basement) and I would also like to cut and cap the vent pipe up in my first floor ceiling. My concern is that by cutting and capping at these two locations I will create some dead air space and I am not sure if this is a hazard for gas accumulation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
