sewer plug of sorts??
Hello All
I have never seen a plug/ blockage for an unused sewer line. Does anybody know what it is?

It's a temporary test cap that needs broke out and removed. A threaded fitting with clean-out cap should be installed. I see these in the crawlspace quite often, some times I find them left on at the roof vent pipes.

Caps, who needs caps. Looks good to me, (SARCASM) This was the first house yesterday.DSCN3851.jpg
The waste lines were made of PVC, ABS, Cast iron, and Copper.

after looking again I see that the cast wye has a rubber (plastic) wired over it for a cap -- also a big problem...

You are very correct, I noted multiple other plumbing issues under this house.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
