We are putting a bathroom in the basement and we tied to an existing vent that was labelled "Future Vent". The vent runs up the living room wall beside the kitchen vent. Looking at the roof from outside, that's where we can also see the main stack vent coming out. The inspector wanted me to go up in the attic and confirm that the vent we tied into is indeed tied to the main stack. I got up in the attic and I located the main stack, but I don't see anything tied to it. My plumber says these are always tied in the main floor with the kitchen vent before they go up to the main stack. Is it reasonable for the inspector to ask me to open the wall in my living room or should it be assumed that the vent was correctly tied when the house was built and inspected. I really don't want to be poking holes in my living room wall.
Thanks for the advice.
