What Are Running Traps (Yard Traps)?

Running traps, also known as yard traps, were common in older sewer systems, particularly in **Columbus, Ohio**. These traps were installed to prevent sewer gases from entering properties but were typically made of **clay** and lacked proper access points for maintenance.

Over time, running traps have become obsolete due to modern plumbing advancements and their tendency to create issues, such as:

  • **Blockages and backups** caused by debris buildup
  • **No access points** for cleaning or inspection
  • **Cracking and failure** due to old clay construction
  • **Increased maintenance costs** over time
