This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Plumbing.
In this Badge Bit, you will fix a leak in a DWV (Drain, Waste, Vent) pipe. We're talking a permanent fix, not a clamp or emergency quick fix. And this is for the piping, not a
p-trap fix. Leaks suck, let's fix one before it ruins the flooring!
Here's a
video of fixing a vent pipe leak in the attic:
