Should There Be Water in My Sewer Cleanout?
Typically, water should not be present in a sewer cleanout when the plumbing system is functioning correctly. However, small amounts of water may accumulate over time due to:
* Normal condensation
* Slight leak in a pipe connection
If you notice significant water in the cleanout or if it persists, it is important to contact a professional plumber to investigate potential issues. This could indicate a clog, a broken pipe, or a more serious problem.
