"Jumping" The HouseTrap is a very common practice in "Cleaning" a main line. Jumping a HouseTrap is when a "Drain Cleaner" puts a cable thru your round perforated plate on the side of your home. This is what is called a Fresh Air Vent. What the "Drain Cleaner" does not tell you is that if the cable or the cutter on the tip of their cable breaks the HouseTrap, It will cause a massive flood and a very expensive repair bill of replacing the HouseTrap. During the time when the HouseTrap is broken to when it is repaired< YOU CAN NOT USE ANY WATER OR FLUSH A TOILET.
Your "drain Cleaner " will be laughing all the way to the bank as he is most likely paid on commission and will have some extra money in his bank over this.
What is the Homeowner or Property owner to do to not be a victim of this? Have a clean out installed in the Main line leaving your home BEFORE a problem happens.
Please keep in mind that only a Suffolk County Licensed Master Plumber can repair your broken HouseTrap.
How do you tell if the person who comes to your property to replace your HouseTrap? Ask them for their full name and call the Nassau or Suffolk County Department of Consumer Affairs and ask them if the person or people on your property are Licensed Master Plumbers.
This is how a Homeowner or Property owner can protect themselves from being taken advantage of.
