That's not practical!  American Plumbing, LMP #556

Side-by-side comparison of a concrete hump and a metal cleanout cover on pavement.

A customer called wanting us to locate his main drain line.  When I arrived, I noticed that he and his neighbors had the same round concrete hump in the same location in their driveway.  I showed him and told him that once we chip out the round concrete hump we should find the cleanout.  Sure enough, It was there.  However, what the customer needs is a metal cleanout cover like the one on of the right.

Call American Plumbing for all of your gas, plumbing repair, rooter and backflow needs.
