Jerry Lozier Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 2001 (vacant for a couple months) home. Trying to figure out what this 2" ABS pipe is for. Old stains, standing water and dripping water from pipe after I ran a bunch of faucets in the home. It was near a bathroom, which was behind bearing wall... any ideas??

fyrmnk Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Laundry room floor overflow drain by chance? Doesn't explain water dripping out from faucets running though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Perhaps a mistake in the system design that was overlooked and never corrected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Could it be coming from the water heater drain pan? That is my first guess. I see them like that fairly often with 1 1/2 pipe. Maybe it's an extension. The tank may be leaking, regardless of the faucets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Meiland Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Floor drain with a trap primer? I would only expect 3/4" PVC from a water heater pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Looks like a shower drain that never got connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
