What exactly is a trap? I'm no plumber.

And if you live in SF, seems like whoever did your driveway is due for some heavy penalties.
Dave is referring to the "cleanout" near the tree in this diagram.

Dammit, Dave. I am at work, srs business and all that, and damn near choked trying to hold in my laughter.

I had my dad convinced I was an incompetent asshole of a renter and had royally fucked the plumbing system at my place...
Then the city came out (called them,) once we started to purge shit-poo cocktail on the neighbors lawn; (line ran over and joined with the neighbors,) Their super-cool snake cam revealed that massive roots had punctured the line and stopped everything up. The sound of unsaid pounds of shit and piss suddenly being freed and sucked down is interesting to say the least...
It's a childhood nightmare realized: sewage coming back through and up into the bathtub....shit/piss spilling over onto your floor.....ugh.
It was that day I truly realized why plumbers make good money. They damned deserve it.

That sounds like when a root ruined our outgoing line years ago except we didn't have a poo fountain.
I read this at lunch today, and I was laughing so hard I was crying. The guys sitting nearby wanted to know what was so funny, so I sent links... before you know it, there's 4 of us sitting there laughing like hyenas...![]()
