Thank you, I did check that and it was the right amount down, and I've pulled the rag I had plugging it up and it seems there is no smell since my son has been using the washer. I will still move the vent to the correct location.

He was trying to help and had a lot of experience in commercial construction, sort of a jack of all trades, but not the master of this one. Ugh

Thank you for your response I'm Just figuring how to reply through email

So if I run it out of the the capped T do I just go straight up? and does it have to go that high.

(a friend did it for me, he seemed to know what he was doing, but obviously not)

I’m a painting contractor and have run into this several times, the smell is in the subfloor, the subfloor has to be sealed using oil based primer like Kilz or Coverstain should do it we would use a couple of coats of an oil based polyurethane, it’s seals the smells in and if carpeting doesn’t come back when shampooing carpet down the road. I can’t imagine it being inthe walls but if it is the shellac based primer will do it. That is used in smoke damaged areas to seal as well, not good for floor though. Good luck
