Washing machine drain Ptrap
My washing machine water exhaust tube is connected to a verticle drain pipe for water outflow. At the bottom of this pipe, there appears to be a P-trap section. Attached to the P-trap is a tube that runs all the way up the roof and also down to the ground. It believe that the tube that goes to the roof is used as a clean-out access to run a snake in case the drain is clogged. I noticed that there is a severe crack where the clean-out tube meets the junction of the p-trap junction section. The washing machine is in the garage.
I noticed that there is a severe crack where the clean-out tube meets the "T-junction". How difficult is this ptrap junction to replace. Is this something that I should call in the experts or DIY can handle it?
