Re: Trap In Crawl
Looks OK to me.
It is pretty common for shower drains to leak. I guess it is due to the flexing of the shower when people stand there.

Re: Trap In Crawl
I don't think it matters that the trap goes 'backwards' (if that is what you think the issue might be). The main thing to look for is the depth, which appears to be less than the 4 inch maximum.

Re: Trap In Crawl
Hey Troy,
What is that trap to? Is it a shower, floor drain, or commode? In the world view we are all important and our mere existence effects all life. Jack Gilleland Home Inspection Services Clayton Commercial, Multifamily, and Residential jgilleland1@att.net Ohio_Commercial and_Home_Inspections activerain

Re: Trap In Crawl
Don't normally see a 3" trap for shower in ABS. The leak should not be there (plastic usually flexes enough to cover shower base). There direction of the trap is not important, but the leak is.

Re: Trap In Crawl
The leak appears to have been from some past issues no leakage present at time of inspection. For some reason I just had a brain fart and it didn't look right.

Re: Trap In Crawl
OK, it doesn't NEED a cleanout, but does it have a vent? Here are a couple of technical illustrations.
