StevenT Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 If that's a toilet, won't the excessive amount of bends cause stoppages? Where is the vent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I think that trap is supposed to be clear, so you know when to clean it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 You've just uncovered a conspiracy by the Plunger Manufacturers of America (PMA). They have a secret corps of plumbing instructors that are teaching their students to add a second trap to a toilet in the hopes of doubling their business (pun intended). Spread the word about this poop plot before we're all ankle deep in excrement. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Oh.... I was just wondering if he used enough glue? (yeesh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 In all seriousness I looked over the pictures and freaked till realizing it was most likely a floor drain upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Darn! You got us all worked up over nothing? You're a mean, mean home inspector. I see a reducer there. Are you sure? OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 There was a double stack laundry over in that area with floor drain,so I am pretty sure.Floor drains can run like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Kubs Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Originally posted by chicago There was a double stack laundry over in that area with floor drain,so I am pretty sure.Floor drains can run like that. If that is a floor drain for laundry spill overs connected to the main DWV system there has to be a trap primer... At least on my screen that pic is really small, but I don't see one. Whats all that white stuff around it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 It was very sloppy with a big piece of Styrofoam stuck in the middle,so I hope I get to do a final walk through.It makes no sense for that piece to have been there,but it makes me wonder how it got there.Nothing like hind sight.If it was a poor or amatuer attempt at a patch that might be a possibility,but do we test floor drains?
