StevenT Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 If that's a toilet, won't the excessive amount of bends cause stoppages? Where is the vent?
Les Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 I think that trap is supposed to be clear, so you know when to clean it out.
hausdok Posted May 4, 2007 Report 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.
chicago Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Posted May 4, 2007 Oh.... I was just wondering if he used enough glue? (yeesh)
chicago Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Posted May 4, 2007 In all seriousness I looked over the pictures and freaked till realizing it was most likely a floor drain upstairs.
hausdok Posted May 4, 2007 Report 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.
chicago Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report 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.
Kyle Kubs Posted May 6, 2007 Report 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?
chicago Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report 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? This devoloper is promising an one year warranty on a one year old project.
