    Do I need 3 vent pipes in my basement
    In my basement I have 3 vent pipes.1 is right beside my drain pipe in the floor. I have another against a wall near my upstairs stick drain and then one on the other side of my town home with nothing around it. Can I take out the one against the wall so I can frame out my basement and then get rid of the one on the other side that's is around nothing?

    Probably not. Vents are installed for a purpose. Without knowing the exact connections and use of the vents, it would be dangerous to surmise you could remove them.

    Most of the pipes in your basement are draining a fixture from a upper floor. You may offset and move the pipe but you can not remove it, Good luck, Tom
