What happens here

To ensure the smoke test is effective and targets a specific area, other plumbing vent pipes on the roof need to be sealed. The user is shown covering the opening of one vent pipe with Gorilla tape. This action helps to direct the smoke efficiently through the intended, unsealed vent and to any potential leak points.

Goal: Isolate the plumbing vent system by sealing inactive vents to ensure a directed smoke test.
