Common Plumbing Defects Found During a Home Inspection
This is called an “S Trap” it was used in the past, but no longer. The trap will dry out if not used frequently and you will smell grey water gases(wastewater). Recommend licensed plumber repair.

Here’s a clogged dishwasher airgap. You can see that when it drains it shoots out into the sink and countertop. Recommend repair.
Here’s some disconnected plumbing straps in a crawlspace. This is a common issue. You can see that it puts extra stress on the plumbing joints. This one so much that it was leaking. The first photo has the leak on the under side of the pipe.
Here’s a plumbing vent that’s venting to the attic. It should be routed through the roof. It’s used to exhaust off gases from the drain waste lines. Recommend repair.
