It's all behind the walls and if the drain vent is missing it is a direct reflection on the skill and/or integrity of the plumber. If the drain or vent is blocked, that is just a function of home use. A GOOD, plumber can help you figure out what is wrong. Sometimes the solution can be as simple as a stackless vent, but those devices are not allowed in some communities so check with local building code.
