Allowable backwash line discharge for a water softner
My city has adopted the 2003 edition of the International Building Code which I cannot locate online. I had a contractor install a water softner in my garage for which they ran a backwash line into my attic and ran it into my 2nd bathroom vent pipe (securing with electrical tape- see attached picture). I am wondering whether using a vent pipe running through the attic for a water discharge is consistent with plumbing code. The vent pipe leaked and has damaged my home, so the answer may help me decide whether I or the contractor is responsible for the damage. I would greatly appreciate a response.
