Dear NG, I live in a tenement on the lower east side of nyc on the fourth floor. In my bathroom, both the tub and sink drain into the same "main drain" and get routed down from there.
Question, what is the professional name for the "main drain"? . The leek was in the "main drain" and I need the professional term for it please.
Thanks in advance!

If you mean the vertical pipe that the various drains wye into, it is typially referred to as the "soil stack".

Considering what a leek is, I'd say sabatoge!
You have some big leeks there! Call a gardener or cook to fix them.

47$ here.
Still not too bad. I "heard" that in NY a good plumber gets the hourly equivalent of a surgeon..The difference is apparently, is that you can GET a surgeon if you need one.
The plumber I used for years was getting $100/hour when he retired last year. He turned the reins over to his nephew and they're now charging $135/hr. I'm looking for another plumber.

Look in the bottom right corner of that diagram - it explains the difference.
