I just bought an old farmhouse (really good deal) an am going through
all the repairs that need to be done and now have a puzzle.

When a large amount of water is flushed down the pipes (i.e. bathtub

rusted out (and now fixed) but still having the gas odor.

There are these if venting is a problem. Air admittance valve.
