Answer

Brief Explanations:

A plumbing trap creates a liquid - seal (usually water) that stops sewer gases from entering the living space. For the second question, home inspectors avoid turning on plumbing systems that have been off due to various leak - related risks and winterization concerns, but it's not because it's the client's responsibility.

Answer:

  1. provides a liquid seal which prevents the passage of air/gas
  2. it is the client's responsibility
