In modern plumbing, a drain-waste-vent (or DWV) is part of a system that removes sewage and greywater from a building, and regulates air pressure in the waste-system pipes to aid free flow.t the building drain system's lowest point, the drain-waste vent is attached, and rises (usually inside a wall) to and out of the roof. Waste exits from the building through the building's main drain and flows through a sewage line, which leads to a septic system or a public sewer.
If the blockage isnât in your main sewer line or the toilet, itâs almost certainly in the vent stack, a pipe that rises from your plumbing system and out through your roof. The vent stack â a crucial part of a plumbing system â prevents sewer gas from backing up into your home and helps water flow smoothly.
