Long story short, some mortar was poured down our bathtub drain in our basement, it hardened and now needs to be replaced. We were told by our home insurance company that our home is new enough (2007) that our p-trap could possibly be located in the wall vs. the foundation but that they'd have to cut the wall open on the other side of the bathroom to be sure. Is there a way to figure this out before cutting into the wall? For instance, if I could track down blueprints or building records for the home, would that be a piece of information that's included? I am only curious to know before we tear into the wall because it's looking like a $400 vs. $4,000 fix and if it's the latter, it'll be a minute before we can have it repaired and I'd love to avoid having a hole in our wall for months. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
