Good afternoon,
Electrician by trade. Over the last month or so I experienced the smell of sewer gas and a small leak under the carpet in the basement. Only happens when the washer is on. Pulled up the carpeting and found what appears to be a 2" line with duct tape cut flush to the floor. Moist during the washing cycle along with the odor. Dissipates and dries out after laundry. I would assume its an abandoned line. Should I just chop out and seal with a jim cap? Any thoughts?
Thanks, Rich
