Plumber in North Philly (East Kensington)?

Question

After digging into the ceiling of my rental duplex to remunerate some mold, I found that the stackpipe that is supposed to vent to the outside through the roof is actually venting INTO THE CEILING. Never mind this is a new build that's barely three years old!

Anyway, I'd appreciate any recommendations for a good plumber in Philadelphia close to East Kensington/Fishtown to build this pipe out through the roof or a side wall (which is what should've been done in the first place).

Haha I had an old home that vented to the attic and not out, but a new construction is too funny.

Ive had a great time using City Plumbing in Port Richmond. Ive never used them for something like this but seems like a fairly easy job. That said Id think youll also need a roofer to come out and seal it up.

Other option is using a handyman to extend the vent as well as the roof sealing

Happy to help! You can always try but it may be more tome/money/hassle than it’s worth unfortunately. There is some really poorly constructed homes built lately

@Eric Greenberg Thanks! Yeah, I’m going to start with a decent plumber and go from there. I want this thing done right. Also going to consult a real estate lawyer, as I think the builder needs to take responsibility for this.
