Default Drilled 3/16" hole into sewer vent - is there much of a problem?

Well its a small hole, and its right up against the drywall and the
anchor
is lodged in the hole. Perhaps I can jam a bunch of silicone cocking in
there to further plug it up.


That will work. It is a minor problem, not the doomsday machine.


I'd just take an appropriate sized sheet metal screw, use a rubber
washer, dab some silicon on it and screw it into the hole. It'll hold
forever against the gases to prevent odor which is the only _real_
concern.


My vote for best answer is above. Only need to drill the sheetrock hole a
little bigger and will be easy to patch.

Just be happy it was ABS or PVC and not cast iron (though you probably
wouldn't have penetrated that so easily)
