I'm working on a 1909 house in which the previous owner shoe-horned a bathroom into the attic. One part of the 1.5" shower drain line spills into a trap of some type (see photos) while the other spills out of the same trap several inches higher. It seems to have worked for the last 50 years until the lid gasket failed and water started spilling through the ceiling below. We hard piped it using a couple ferncos, elbows and pipes but it's backing up into the shower. I am curious how the old "trap" worked and how I might address the problem. Also, there is nothing close to "tap" into without tearing into the lathe and plaster ceilings and walls below.
Thanks!
