4) How can I tell if my floor drains are trapped?
Pour water into the opening (at least 2 gallons) and visually inspect by looking down the opening. If there is considerable water standing (so that it fills the pipe), then the drain is trapped. Check it again a couple of hours later to be sure the water hasn’t drained out. https://www.marionohio.us/wpc/sewer_gas
