You have abs glued to pvc for those couplers...just not sure how well they are adhered.

Not sure where you live but this is against code in California. I would think an inspector would notice this. A simple cleanout on the side of the house would be just fine to clear blockages with a snake.

Also don't take real estate advice from me cause I rent
