My t&p is on top.

But it doesn't drain like that!

NOTHING about that install is correct.

If an inspector sees it, he'll not only fail that, he'll start looking around for what else is wrong, and fail that too. Usually anybody that does work that bad screws up everything they touch.

I'd also check anything else he may have worked on for safety,
especially anything with gas or electricity.



I'm not sure you're actually required to run the t&p line outside. I've seen a lot that just drain on the floor, which will make a mess, but at least it saves your house from an explosion. (watch Mythbusters. Scarey!)

Every one I've seen, including new construction here, just go down
close to the basement floor.
