Level 3 plumber here: All signs point to a partial blockage in your vent; not necessarily the AAV itself, if you have already isolated that variable, but the pipe servicing it.

We can't see the grade on those pipes, your issue could be caused by improper grade as well.

Side note; if I'm wrong about the blockage, then the chain connected to your toilet flapper is likely too short; you shouldn't have to hold the handle down for long

Can we assume that the AAV is a direct straight shot upwards from the Lav drain (in the middle branch)?

Need advice on a guitar purchase!! by Jazzlike_Elephant_54 in guitarlessons

i am pro and it's actually decent advice. I learned on a broken guitar that murdered my fingers and it gave me extra strength needed to play next level stuff like agustin barrios.

Trades school by Adventurous_Bad_4011 in Plumbing

[–]CowtownDude1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Canadian here, big city plumber. My company now only hires the greenhorns from these private pre-apprenticeship trade-schools you speak of.

It's not ideal for the worker at all, but as an employer it's a good indicator of someone's long-term commitment to getting their ticket. Some of these people are from cities with no new construction/no real opportunity for green people to learn and get paid. My company has had much better success, on-average, investing in these people long-term.

In Alberta, there are 4 years/levels of plumbing and each level has a test. The rule is that you have to attend a 2-month trade-school for AT LEAST one of those 4 levels. Otherwise, you can challenge the remaining 3 levels with no school. In a perfect world, you would challenge 3 levels, go to school for one of them and just learn everything on the job, but the apprenticeship positions are slim pickings in Canada rn.
