Correct Incorrect To keep sewer gases from backing up into your home--To prevent sewer gases from entering the home, all drainage systems require a trap, which consists of a curved section of pipe.

This simple mechanism ensures that unpleasant odors and potentially harmful gases are kept out of the living space.
