    Question about what kind of pipe this is
    Hi . I'm trying to locate a drainpipe from top floor and came across this. What kind of pipe is this and what is the piece the pope is going into? Imgur

    HI khabs and welcome, could that be a booster fan for maybe a dryer vent or kitchen stove exhaust fan?

    The kitchen is on the other side of the house so I doubt it's the exhaust fan. The dryer is kind of close.

    I cut out this part of the ceiling because I measured out where the 2nd floor toilet would be. I think it's about 5 foot off from the section I cut out because I didn't want to cut out the part of ceiling in the bedroom (the part I cut out was in the closet). I'm thinking I'm real close to where the drain pipe should be but not sure if this is it.

    I could cut out the exact part of the ceiling where the toilet is - but I would like to avoid that if possible to avoid damaging the drywall :)

    The small one looks like a bath vent or dryer vent. Did you ever have any Radon mitigation done?

    That is a question you should be asking of the old owner or review the disclosure form, your agent should have done it. Could also be input air for your fireplace.
