Since I can feel air being sucked into the drain and hear water running from the vent down the drain, is it safe to assume that there isn't a trap? Any quick way to tell without ripping out drywall? If the home warranty has expired would the installation of a trap typically be done by the...

I'm in a brand new house and I'm wondering if my laundry drain was installed properly. It's raining outside and I am hearing water though the wall drain for the washing machine. I removed the washing machine flex drain pipe and there's no water coming from it, and there are no leaks by the...
