What is this?

[Richard Carter]

This was right against the home. It is tract housing about 5 years old. Possibly a main sewer line? I would really like to let the buyer know. Thanks, Rich

lift station for sanitary sewer?...were there any controls visible?

[Richard Carter]

No sir. No controls anywhere.

Might be a catch basin

Did you shake it, taste it smell it hold it upside down to see what comes out. Light a fire under it to see if it is really dangerous?
If you start getting sick or feel funny,it is then.
Go tell the home owner to get ride of it.
HA HA HA.
Sorry mate. I am in one of those mods today.
But seriously, there is a vent pipe that is coming out of the wall just above it. Looks like a condensation release vent pipe. For air conditioning of possible heater, ether way, It might be a bad place to put that ( what looks like a n exterminators trap. )

You took the wrong meds again Robert. You've gotta read the labels before you take those pills!!

[Kenton H. Shepard, CMI]

...very serious waste line cleanout.

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

From my phone it looked like a trap for critters.The danger writing on top and what looked like a canister inside made me think of the days I followed behind my fried that owned a large extermination business . In the early 1970.s they left bate outside for rats and small vermen and told the home owners if they had pets to keep them inside. Not allowed anymore. They were not to be exposed to a heavy water flow, like from a down spout but rain would be OK.
Oppppps.I am bad.

Thanks for those meds you sent my mother Linas I will tell her to phone you for directions.
How long did you tell her you suffered from penile dysfunction anyway Linas.
She has given them to her 90 old boyfriend.
I will not tell a soul.

For the main sewer line Kenton. Never seen a danger sign on one of those before.
Is it a septic line clean-out ?

[James F. McKee]

You know it could be a maintenance access for a check valve in the sanitary line...without controls my first wag of lift staion would not be right.

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

Send me a link for information Mr.McKee
I am out of the loop on septic systems. I need to get some insight.

Great Roy good link. Thanks Mr.McKee I can never get enough.

So, the city building inspectors have no idea what it is, and said it isn't noted on their final inspection from 5 years ago. The drain line above it appears to be the drain from the washing machine overflow pan, just inside. I'll keep you all posted.

The lids on these units have the same warning written in the same three languages, english, spanish and french..

might not be that exact model, but maybe something similar?

city sewer?
