It would be closed off with a black cap of some sort and be maybe 3" in diameter. You open that up and snake there.....wallah cleared up drains. I think it is called the outlet drain. We have one and I have done that rather than the chemicals that come back up and burn your feet in the shower.

Long story short, it involved a broken sewage main, a month of repairs, a porta-potty in the front yard during the only time in Seattle history of 20* weather, and a long battle with my landlady.

If you lived in Seattle, you'd hear her commercials on the radio a lot, she's apparently the best thing going in the plumbing world. Of course, said friend no longer has that connection. Great, just when a Rad Dyke Plumber would be like a ray of sunshine in my life, you've lost contact with her?
