While inspecting an air mover in this apartment, an abandoned pipe was found improperly capped. Duct tape is not an appropriate means to cap pipes and if this leads to sewer lines then sewage gasses can be emitted from pipes, potentially causing serious, life threatening illness.
A properly fitting, glued on cap, would reduce chances of sewage gasses entering the apartment. It is highly recommended that this type of problem be further evaluated as it may pose a substantial health risk. |
