Trader suggested having a peek in your crawlspace. If you can't

comfortably get in there, try using a mirror at the opening. You may

be able to locate the cleanout plug by doing so.



/ wise crack off


I think he'd just rather start yet another thread on the same problem....

Going by what code says, what the city says should be, wouldn't be my
first line of approach. I've yet to see a code that says where exactly
from the house the pipe has to exit. Crap goes in crapper. Follow path of crap,
to extent possible, to where it leaves the house. House has crawlspace,
it's not built on a slab. And typically there is a cleanout, probably
required by code, at last point inside the house perimeter where it leaves.
