    All of your vents have been tied back in the attic to one main vent that's run out the roof. Check the attic to see if one has been left open. Are the main bathroom and the utility room close or back to back? Is there a floor drain in the utility room?
    Let me know, Tom

    Did you trap all plumbing fixtures ? Do you have any floor drains ? If positive: is this drain primed ?
