Hello,
I have a basement drain that I would like to temporarily block. The lowest part of the drain is 2 inches in diameter, the middle part (about 3 inches long) is 3 inches in diameter and the top part (about 3 inches long) is 4 inches in diameter.
I have tried using a "3 in. Gripper Plastic Mechanical Test Plug", but there is a spot on the side where water seems to flow around it. I tried wrapping the rubber part in duct tape to make it thicker, but that didn't help either.
I have tried a 3 inch Cherne test ball plug, but water finds its way around that too!
Does anyone have any idea why I can't seem to temporarily block this drain?
