Hi,
I was going through my paperwork and ran across my home inspection report from before I moved into my home.
In the plumbing section, in the water heater category, the following is what was listed:
Condition: Deficient
Comments: Extension on relief does not have 1" air gap at sewer line
My question to you all here is what you think could happen if that was never fixed?
Up until recently, I've had frequent backups coming up from the drain where the water heater is. This would happen when I would take a shower or wash clothes. Something to note is that the laundry room and that bathroom share a common wall.
The last plumber that was here installed a studer vent on the drain line of the bathroom sink, and that seems to have solved the problem.
However, seeing that notation in my inspection report made me wonder if that could have caused my problems.
Does anyone know if that could be the cause, or if not, what problems could arise if that deficiency was never taken care of?
Thanks!
