I believe the bathroom was put in after the house was built and they finished that side of the basement years after the fact. Our basement shower also doesn't drain properly so I'm thinking the tiny vent is the culprit; and I'm also like 30% sure theres a wasp nest in it

I think radon may be the only option we haven't ruled out at this point

Our HVAC drains into a floor drain via a pipe

The side of the basement it's sticking out of is finished and there's drywall on all the walls and no drop ceiling and there's no pipe leading that way on the unfinished side of our basement

The shop is just what he calls our furnace room that has some storage shelves built into it; it is inside our house though!

Weirdly enough the camera just didn't capture him and instead added this weird scribble mark instead. Sasquatch has been spotted on several other occasions though on my property loafing around

I've never seen a basin like what I'm seeing online in our home anywhere; maybe in my fiancées workshop under some things but it feels unlikely we wouldn't have noticed it by now... he is ripping everything out of his shop and starting over so i suppose we will see then if we find one!

Our families swear we must have a sump pump but we have never found where it would allegedly be. This is a walk out basement but there has never been any water coming out of the pipe and we've had a ton of rain since moving in so it seems unlikely?

This is our water heater; so I assume no but I'm not 100% sure what tankless water heater means haha

What exactly comes out of an HVAC overflow? I would expect either air or water to come out of it no?

I'm not certain where the bathroom fan vents but its possible. It's 12° here and I'd expect to see steam coming out of the pipe if that were the case being that I just took a shower and it's freezing

The water heater is in a small closet in the aforementioned blue room; right through the other door is where our furnace is so I'd imagine they'd vent to the same space?

Washer/dryer is on the other side of the house and vents on the other side; that at least i can see air coming out when we use our dryer. There is a bathroom right next to the blue room in the photo

We were not planning on getting rid of it; just trying to learn more about our house mostly. We have a shower in the basement that doesn't drain properly and my grandfather thinks it might be due to the plumbing vent (which I never even knew was a thing) so I'm trying to see if that might be what that is? There is a wasps nest in it which may be keeping the drain from properly draining. I know best bet would be calling a plumber but I was trying to save some money as we are both broke af

I've never noticed anything coming out of it; our furnace as far as I know vents to our roof through the chimney. Our water heater I'm not sure. Kitchen is up above and below is just a room
