The only reason to use the vent would be if there was no clean out in the sewer line outside of the house. If your house is 100 years old and no work has been done on the pipe that leads from your house to the main line you are long overdue for a major expense. Your drain pipes may be cast iron with lead soldered joints.  Time and subtle shifting of the ground have taken their toll.  Grass roots are probably getting in thru a cracked  lead seal. You are lucky if no trees are growing on or near the line.</p></blockquote><p></p>
