    Plumbing Ejector Pump Venting
    Hi, I have recently purchased a home in Marietta, Ga and have noticed that the basement bathroom ejector pump is vented directly into the basement. It is not vented to the roof. Is this standard or within code? My concern is methane gas being vented into a living space (finished basement). Thanks.

    Not code, all vents should go through the roof.
