Obviously nobody will know for sure but just thought I'd ask in case anyone has a thought.
3 inch cast iron pipe in basement floor with an adjacent 1.5 inch cast iron vent, I'm assuming they are connected. Vent leads to rest of DWV sanitary system. Trying to figure out where the 3" pipe leads to. I can't hear water rushing when flushing a toilet and I don't smell sewer gas, rather, it smells like dirt/mud. This pipe is about 10 feet from the main sanitary sewer line in the basement. I found it when doing some demo, it was stuffed with a large tiling sponge. It goes down about 12 inches then turns 90 degrees to horizontal.
It's going back towards the horizontal run of the main sewer line in the house. No septic system outside. I'm going to have a plumber scope it to be sure of what it is. Thanks!
My guess would be that it was a rough in for a toilet that was never installed. If its exactly 10" or 12" away from the wall. or maybe a shower or floor drain that just never got used.
Good call - it's 10.5" from the wall. Although not a finished wall, so it wouldn't work for a rough in toilet. It would only be 6.5" from a finished 2x4 wall, assuming 1/2" drywall was used.
I’m trying to remove old boiler valves for my washer to replace with newer ball valves. I can’t seem to unscrew them. I’m holding the one side with channel locks while using a wrench on the valve. I can’t get it to budge. I’m afraid that I’ll end up messing up the pipe in the wall. Is there any trick for getting these off?

I am getting ready to remodel my powder room. I would like to move the location of my sink 4 feet to another wall to free up some space. Before I start removing some drywall I wanted to ask how hard this job would probably be and what steps I probably need to take. I enclosed a picture of the sink and the wall where the mirror is shown is where I want to relocate the plumbing. Thanks in advance.
