My plumber wants to remove my old "U" Trap / "house trap"in my basement - the home is from the 1930s and located in Jersey City, New Jersey. He said they are no longer needed - has anyone had theirs removed? Apparently modern fixtures - made since the 1980s take care of all trapping of sewer gas - he said these U traps are obsolete and always cause issues. Is he right?
