| This house was built in the late 60's.
I noticed that there is a cleanout in the cement on the side of the driveway which leads to a 2 car garage. The cleanout is at least one inch above the ground and I think people could easily trip on it. I am not sure what to do. Who do I call to get this fixed?

| A plumber if you do not want to raise the level of the soil around the clean out. What is the clean out made of? Cast iron? |

| Your applicable code may require the cleanout to be above ground. Making it taller will address the tripping issue. But I imagine that seeing it at all is one of your concerns. |

| I think it's made of cast iron. It's about 2feet away from the house but in the cement driveway. I don't think making it higher would be a solution because it would prevent 2 cars to park in the driveway. Weird, isn't it? Could a plumber cut it down and make sure it's even with the driveway ? thank you for the responses. Jeannette |
