This has happened a couple times in previous years in winter as well but its always resolved itself after a few days. I think previous answers were a dry trap but that wasnt the case
I've narrrowed it down to a frozen roof vent stack since we had alot of snow last week and the -30 temps.
Any remedy for this that doesnt involve me going up on my roof to clear?? Is there a cover or insulation to add to the inner pipe to prevent this?
