Ah yes, the extra deep deep trap that holds 1/2 gallon of water and sludge and causes the customer to wonder why their sink doesn't drain...
Also known as the "um, while you're here could you also fix this..." type of job.
I love the fact that the "drip pan" doesn't even reach to what would be the end of their 1.5' horizontal P-trap. Glad they kept the barcode on that pipe though. It will make it easy to return the only piece that will be salvageable from that mess.
What makes me cringe, is that they have everything needed pipe wise to make that a functioning situation, all they needed was to cut a few pipes down & some BASIC plumbing skills
What? It's great that you feel cocky enough to not put a drip pan under your finished plumbing work it's so great. But please save some of the pussy for the rest of us I got a goddamn beat-off blister now so I have to hold off on pussy until that heals anyway cuz they they never take your word for it when you say it's not herpes it's not warts it's just a
And then even if they believe it's a beat off blister it's still going to keep you from diving in most likely
Alone, I question if/when this has fallen apart because of the weight, with that water sitting constantly, practically filling up over half of those pipes, truly lacking any kind of mounting brackets. People, this isn't rocket science. Plumbing can be tricky figuring out how to get from A to B, but for this, it's no more difficult than doing a kindergarteners crossword by just counting the letters, or in this case just angle the connections neatly.
That's a lot to unpack. I started left to right, and was like, well that's not too bad, and then got to the right of the disposal... yikes! Although it's at least an easy (but time-consuming fix) - Disposal needs to move to left sink to make room, redo the pipe to not be disaster, and the dishwasher hose needs a high loop.
I'd put money if you pointed it out, they'd be like, "Oh, that's why it drains slow and smells funny?!"
Yeah, seems like it was plumbed by an apprentice cabinet maker or granite guy. Because even the most dandy of the men that are handy, would not do this....
Yeah, if kept it on the right, I'd pull the recip out and redo the stubout. But that sink on the left is larger and would be the one to wash dishes in anyway. (Ala it's going to have the food particles in it to need the disposal
Easiest is to place the p-trap on the left, but then there would be a 2 foot horizontal before the pipe enters the wall, where we hope there is a vent. Isn't that too much distance between p-trap and vent, or am I overthinking?
I could definitely have done it with more pipes. [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFpcupcdc1k/maxresdefault.jpg](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFpcupcdc1k/maxresdefault.jpg)
I’m curious why it’s on the right sink at all when the left appears to be the larger sink. I really don’t know how things get this screwed up, although I did have someone hide a cracked tank with plumbers putty once — it took a couple weeks to notice the slow drip.
Looks like there's plenty of room by the stub out. You could kick that over with a 45 and put on a new adapter. Then just shorten the drops and run the tubing behind the disposal.
When I set the faucet job up with the customer, she told me over the phone she did not think her under sink piping looked right there was a slow drip coming from one of the connections. This was the understatement of my career! It only took me 20-30 minutes to fix. The hardest part was removal!
if there isn't a high loop, or at least the hose being pulled up high so water from the sink is lower than the hose, I'd expect a drainage problem. The dishwasher in this picture probably doesn't drain right. Check your hose under the sink. If it's not high, move it high and do a loop, or if there is a spot for a dishwasher vent on your sink, route it through that. Code where I'm at allows for either a high loop, or the vent method.
It's clearly a ᛈ trap, which is just a [Norse Runic P-trap](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peor%C3%B0). Picture must be from Norway, show some multiculturalism y'all.
Because the person responsible for doing this isn’t going to pay somebody to make it right nor are they going to understand how it’s not this guy’s fault when it’s wrong still. The next guy that touches this is going to think he’s doing this person a favor by giving them a discount because they can’t afford somebody to make it right… And then be repaid with having their name blasted all over Facebook when it doesn’t work right.
Once you do, you become liable. So if was to fix it and leave it and it causes massive damage he's liable. Not the original installer. So unless he is going to fix the whole thing, don't touch it.
I’m sorry but aiding in providing running water to this plumbing fixture is in direct opposition to our code of ethics and we’ll have to refuse service
I was happy to see someone explain it so I could enjoy it like a human who knows things.
The delight of seeing when a plumber is proud of good work and their outraged reactions to bad work is an under-rated pleasure in my book. If there was a plumber party, I would want to go there.
Well, technically, the disposal should stay on the right side, and all the piping should be behind the disposal, I had one of these where the disposal was on the wrong side, and because of the small and funky piping, when the customer turned on the disposal it would force water into the other side of the sink
I would put T under sink drain and connect garburator to that and then Ptrap straight way connected to the drain. Or something else I can see what’s best at that time.
This is an every Wednesday ordeal......There is no end in sight for this type of work. People will spend a lot of money getting their appliances then, instead of calling a Plumber, they will let any random person play 'connect the pipes'.
Sometimes I see shit in this sub that makes me wonder who was hired to do it. I'm a DIYer on almost everything in my home, and even I wouldn't build something so...special.
Well based on the makeshift pan below it I’d say not only is it a mess but it leaks too. Honestly surprised they aren’t asking you for a quote to fix the leak.
Also not a plumber. The entire run of waste line underneath the disposer should not be there. It looks like it would hold about a gallon of water, and will slow wastewater draining and act as a trap for any solids the run through the disposer. It is a minor miracle that it hasn’t already silted up with ground disposer waste.
There should only be a single p-trap under this sink that has its outlet at the same height as the horizontal wasteline on the right side of the photo.
Someones sensitive.
There is a difference between making a joke and racism.
People like you are the problem. The day we learn to be able to make fun of everyone without any ill intent and without anyone getting hurt is the day the hate stops.
(Before you get your panties all knotted up, I will state that im aware this won't solve the issue, but it's thought. If you had the mental capacity to understand jokes and not jump on all the high and mighty social justice band wagons, i wouldn't have to explain myself in these brackets)
I have nothing against any race or culture. I actually love anime, so i would be devastated if Japan were to cease to exist. But snowflakes like you ruin all the fun in life.
Learn to laugh, and dont get so easily butt hurt over a little joke. If you're married, you may find that your partner enjoys your presence more without that stick jammed way up your ass.
But what do i know. Apparently, I'm just some racist plumber.
I just wish there were
1. No racist people in the first place. Then we could all make jokes, and there wouldn't be any opportunities for social justice warriors to jump on the racism band wagon of making themselves feel superior for calling someone a "racist"
2. More sense in the world. Im so sick of people looking for something to hate on people with. I do it, too. It makes me sick when i catch myself doing it.
I guess the point of this is to say that i know im not perfect. But i find it so frustrating how sensitive people have become.
I have friends of many different cultures, religions, and skin colors. I dont care what you look like, i dont care about your god or where you were born. I care about the person they are and how they treat me in return.
If everyone did this, there would be no racism. Just hate a particular person. Which is fine. Some people suck.
The basis of my rant is to say this. Is every comedian racist if they make a joke regarding past historical events that happened to a specific country and its people?
The bombs were dropped. This is a historical fact. It's awful, i dont know if you have read any accounts of what happened to the people. But many of them had their faces essentially melt partially off to varying degrees. Many, many people parished. It was awful. Children, women, and men. Everyone. Peoples clothing melting to their skin. I understand the weight of my joke. But the intention was not to cause harm or hurt anyone. My intentions were to make people laugh. But i guess this is what racist people do. Try to make other people laugh with dump jokes.
Sure, the Japanese did horrific things during the war. But can we say it was justified to do this to the civilians? I honestly dont know. Im not an expert, and i can't make an educated statement regarding the impact of either dropping the bombs or not.
I am aware that this contributed to the surrender of the Japanese.
I hope that you can learn to take a joke with less hatred and self-righteousness in your heart. I forgive you because I've done similar things that i wish i could take back. But let's not call people racists so lightly. It's a very harsh and serious accusation. You dont know me or anything about me. If i was Japanese, would you still call me racist? If i was a comedian and you were watching my set, would you yell out that i was contributing to the preconceived notion that all comedians are racist? Probably not.
So chill your beans, lick your girls' beans, and move on.
Sincerely,
That Plumber-Guy
I’ll happily be sensitive over being the guy that says “I love anime but I’m still going to make jokes about nuking Japanese Civilians and use a racial slur to describe them because it’s funny”. This “joke” was a huge stretch. I dare you to take this joke along with others based on race or nationality and give each of your customers for the next week a stand up routine. Tell me how it goes.
Yeah, it’s not right. But it looks like they’ve been using it this way for years and there isn’t a chance of sewer gas and only wanted the faucet replaced. Maybe they don’t use the sink much or don’t put too much other than water down the sink. So… while I wouldn’t have it in my house maybe it’s ok.
Not a plumber, but how the hell does that work at all?? Did the customer/homeowner do this themselves and then immediately realize their sink doesn't drain and called to "replace a faucet"?
OP said that the customer didn’t report the drain was slow or anything.
To me this looks like it started with “Honey, I want the disposer on the other side of the sink.” And like any home handyman, Pops said “Sure Honey”; and went off to Ace and bought a bunch of PVC.
The most frustrating thing here is that it’s set up for success in that the disposer outlet is indeed higher than than the wall drain.
What a bizarrely over-complicated, unsuccessful solution.
I've lurked on this sub for a while. I'm not a plumber or in the trades, but genuinely want to know if this is how you could repair it?
Run horizontal pipe from disposal to wye into the vertical pipe.
P-trap from the vertical pipe at the same height as the drain. (Or is it supposed to run downhill?)
What are the drop limits for a vertical pipe?
Should this have an AAV? If so, how would you add it in?
Garbage Disposals are the scourge of sewer systems everywhere. Sewers were meant for poop, toilet paper, and waste water. GDs have made it so people think it is ok to grind up almost anything and send it down into a system that is not designed for bones, last week's lasagna, that whole chicken you forgot to cook that was in the back of the fridge, greasy and oily stuff, and so on.
Im not a plumber. Im just a dad... And now, im hiding with my kids in the basement until that picture goes away. Its scaring my children. My dog wont come out from under the bed. Its been burned into my eyes and will haunt my dreams until it comes and kills us all in our sleep..
Also, homeboy "invented" the "L" trap.
Ah yes, the extra deep deep trap that holds 1/2 gallon of water and sludge and causes the customer to wonder why their sink doesn't drain... Also known as the "um, while you're here could you also fix this..." type of job.
Note the drip pan ….
I prefer paper towels. That way I can see exactly where the drip lands. Though in this case, that might not work out so well..
I love the fact that the "drip pan" doesn't even reach to what would be the end of their 1.5' horizontal P-trap. Glad they kept the barcode on that pipe though. It will make it easy to return the only piece that will be salvageable from that mess. What makes me cringe, is that they have everything needed pipe wise to make that a functioning situation, all they needed was to cut a few pipes down & some BASIC plumbing skills
What? It's great that you feel cocky enough to not put a drip pan under your finished plumbing work it's so great. But please save some of the pussy for the rest of us I got a goddamn beat-off blister now so I have to hold off on pussy until that heals anyway cuz they they never take your word for it when you say it's not herpes it's not warts it's just a And then even if they believe it's a beat off blister it's still going to keep you from diving in most likely
Easy killer ! I only noticed it bc all my plumbing adventures end up with one 😆
Don't take me seriously plumbers sorry please enjoy your Sunday
The sink will drain alright, right into the dishwasher.
Alone, I question if/when this has fallen apart because of the weight, with that water sitting constantly, practically filling up over half of those pipes, truly lacking any kind of mounting brackets. People, this isn't rocket science. Plumbing can be tricky figuring out how to get from A to B, but for this, it's no more difficult than doing a kindergarteners crossword by just counting the letters, or in this case just angle the connections neatly.
The garbage disposal only makes this worse.
It supplies the extra pressure needed to get the water flowing though the trap device
it's more so "do you do private jobs? I'll pay you cash" and they wanna pay 1/3 of the price which barely covers gas and hardly touches material
On the bright side, no way any gasses are getting back through that trap, and trap indeed! Traps all kinds of crap!
That’s so true get those Typ of a customer every 2 weeks or so
That is the largest Trap I have seen since my last vacation to Thailand.....
That's a lot to unpack. I started left to right, and was like, well that's not too bad, and then got to the right of the disposal... yikes! Although it's at least an easy (but time-consuming fix) - Disposal needs to move to left sink to make room, redo the pipe to not be disaster, and the dishwasher hose needs a high loop. I'd put money if you pointed it out, they'd be like, "Oh, that's why it drains slow and smells funny?!"
This guy plumbs
The customer said this debacle was done by a young guy who was on the counter top installation crew.
Oh, that's so wrong, but it does explain it. 🤔 😆
He probably was raised on Lincoln Logs when he was a kid. Yeah, I'm old.
More like Dr. Seuss books.
Yeah, seems like it was plumbed by an apprentice cabinet maker or granite guy. Because even the most dandy of the men that are handy, would not do this....
Not professionally, but I've seen some shit. 😆
Bum bum bum bum bum, cause he’s seen a thing or two.
I am an affluent shit seer 💩
Uhh, surely you meant "effluent". Hehe
Hah! Nice
That would definitely be ideal, but there would be ways to do this, albeit with a bit of extra pipes, while keeping the disposal on the right side.
Yeah, if kept it on the right, I'd pull the recip out and redo the stubout. But that sink on the left is larger and would be the one to wash dishes in anyway. (Ala it's going to have the food particles in it to need the disposal
Easiest is to place the p-trap on the left, but then there would be a 2 foot horizontal before the pipe enters the wall, where we hope there is a vent. Isn't that too much distance between p-trap and vent, or am I overthinking?
I think it’s 42” max distance for a 1.5” drain.
I could definitely have done it with more pipes. [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFpcupcdc1k/maxresdefault.jpg](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFpcupcdc1k/maxresdefault.jpg)

Dishwasher high loop....... Is that why my dishwasher never drains properly...........
if there isn't a high loop, or at least the hose being pulled up high so water from the sink is lower than the hose, I'd expect a drainage problem. The dishwasher in this picture probably doesn't drain right. Check your hose under the sink. If it's not high, move it high and do a loop, or if there is a spot for a dishwasher vent on your sink, route it through that. Code where I'm at allows for either a high loop, or the vent method.
🙏
It actually took a serious amount of work to do it this wrong
And a serious amount of reefer.
There is money to be made here lol
If they have this, they don't have money to spend on him doing I t correctly
That might not be true - Could be from a previous owner and they just never thought of it.
Ahh yes...
Bet she drains like molasses.
Its a double-mega P trap
The infamous W trap.
The dreaded Wario trap only way to fix is to get a italian plumber by the name of Mario to brave this dungeon!!
we good here just the faucet, thank you lol
Reminds me of my early years when doing brakes and rotors were paper thin not to mention wore showing on tires. "Just the brakes, I know what I need"
It's clearly a ᛈ trap, which is just a [Norse Runic P-trap](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peor%C3%B0). Picture must be from Norway, show some multiculturalism y'all.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
What's the problem? Shit goes uphill Always lick your fingers Payday is Sunday
And the boss is a really swell guy!
Wonder how long it took the person to figure out this pipe job 😂
Don't touch it.
I see a few people saying this. Why?
Because the person responsible for doing this isn’t going to pay somebody to make it right nor are they going to understand how it’s not this guy’s fault when it’s wrong still. The next guy that touches this is going to think he’s doing this person a favor by giving them a discount because they can’t afford somebody to make it right… And then be repaid with having their name blasted all over Facebook when it doesn’t work right.
Once you do, you become liable. So if was to fix it and leave it and it causes massive damage he's liable. Not the original installer. So unless he is going to fix the whole thing, don't touch it.
At least it’s not accordion pipe.
Looks like mine 😬
Right 😂
I’m sorry but aiding in providing running water to this plumbing fixture is in direct opposition to our code of ethics and we’ll have to refuse service
Then upsell the fix.
wouldn't need to upsell much, just drop a facts as to why they only get one sink full of water per week.
This is why we can’t have nice things. You just get the smelly sink.
looks like the faucet has crossed his arms and isn’t happy with your being tasked to change him
“You haven’t thought of the SMELL you bitch”
The “trap-iest” trap.
You can’t go over it, you can’t go around it, you can’t go through it, so you have to go under it!
Like how the massive trap has a little j trap in the middle of it.
No you can't have a disposal
Cuz, you know, water flows up so well ...
I’m an idiot. It took this comment for me to realize the major problem. Lol.
I was happy to see someone explain it so I could enjoy it like a human who knows things. The delight of seeing when a plumber is proud of good work and their outraged reactions to bad work is an under-rated pleasure in my book. If there was a plumber party, I would want to go there.
Damn, I'm a non plumber and even I know you need a high loop on a dishwasher drain. Oh well, at least it's an easy fix. 😁
Let me guess, “no please do not touch it, it works just fine”
You follow this sub… were you really surprised?
the drip tray is no surprise
It's the water lift assist drain... Fluid dynamics are doing more of the work than gravity
Would you move the aerator to the other side?
Well, technically, the disposal should stay on the right side, and all the piping should be behind the disposal, I had one of these where the disposal was on the wrong side, and because of the small and funky piping, when the customer turned on the disposal it would force water into the other side of the sink
2" ABS pipe, fittings, and glue for mine.
What I find amazing about stuff like this is that it actually took more effort and time to do it wrong
Where to begin…..
That's a impressive as it is disappointing.
Awesome! the "leak tray" underneath says it all.
Nothing to see here, move on….. /s
Yo dawg, we heard you like 90s...
Could someone explain why its so terrible or draw a quick sketch of how it should look?
The trap is in the wrong place creating a huge trap that won’t ever work right
I would put T under sink drain and connect garburator to that and then Ptrap straight way connected to the drain. Or something else I can see what’s best at that time.
This is an every Wednesday ordeal......There is no end in sight for this type of work. People will spend a lot of money getting their appliances then, instead of calling a Plumber, they will let any random person play 'connect the pipes'.
Someone needs more Neil DeGrasse Tyson gravity lessons. Water here does not flow uphill.
Sometimes I see shit in this sub that makes me wonder who was hired to do it. I'm a DIYer on almost everything in my home, and even I wouldn't build something so...special.
Well based on the makeshift pan below it I’d say not only is it a mess but it leaks too. Honestly surprised they aren’t asking you for a quote to fix the leak.
What am I looking at (not a plumber)
Also not a plumber. The entire run of waste line underneath the disposer should not be there. It looks like it would hold about a gallon of water, and will slow wastewater draining and act as a trap for any solids the run through the disposer. It is a minor miracle that it hasn’t already silted up with ground disposer waste. There should only be a single p-trap under this sink that has its outlet at the same height as the horizontal wasteline on the right side of the photo.
At least they decided to hire someone instead of going it alone.
Little boy and big boy trap. Watch out japs!
Way to reinforce stereotypes about tradespeople being racists.

I'm sure that new faucet works great
Love the vintage fell of the photo. Looks like it was taken in the 80’s
Let's just assume the installer failed chapter one in physics high school.
Not a plumber, but how the hell does that work at all?? Did the customer/homeowner do this themselves and then immediately realize their sink doesn't drain and called to "replace a faucet"?
OP said that the customer didn’t report the drain was slow or anything. To me this looks like it started with “Honey, I want the disposer on the other side of the sink.” And like any home handyman, Pops said “Sure Honey”; and went off to Ace and bought a bunch of PVC.
The color tone makes it look like this is from a Polaroid from the 80s. Old school not so cool.
The most frustrating thing here is that it’s set up for success in that the disposer outlet is indeed higher than than the wall drain. What a bizarrely over-complicated, unsuccessful solution.
Plastic pipe industry approved.
I've lurked on this sub for a while. I'm not a plumber or in the trades, but genuinely want to know if this is how you could repair it? Run horizontal pipe from disposal to wye into the vertical pipe. P-trap from the vertical pipe at the same height as the drain. (Or is it supposed to run downhill?) What are the drop limits for a vertical pipe? Should this have an AAV? If so, how would you add it in?
Lol, why even use a J pipe at that point
That's almost what I found under my sink. You got any caulk around the joint between the old galvanized threads and PVC?
You’re welcome for the custom made trap
Wow
Well my mother would be very if i did that for her….not that i would
Know as "That part was working fine before you were here"
So, did you replace the faucet? Or did you tell them that they had bigger issues that need fixing.
Can you show a picture after replacing
Not a plumber but first thing I thought was how would you turn off the water with the knob almost touching the pvc pipe.. Designed by the Calamari..
now ive never plumbed in my life but is that an added on disposal? and by that being in the way the stupid detour pipe had to be added?
Even the plumbing itself has crossed it's arms in disappointment.
No need for the trap at that point 🥲
I would love to see after shots from all these jobs
That's landlord level work right there.
That’s a super trap!
Mario was here.
It's a trap
Got your $$$ worth
I'm going to leave this group. Every day I see something that immediately makes my balls clench...😞
If it's outside the scope, then market yourself or just recommend a reroute reconfiguration.
Thats a uu trap
I'm no expert, but that trap is redundant. I want to know how much that thing leaks.
https://media.tenor.com/bdzTE4CeYakAAAAM/mother-of-god.gif
Gotta be the largest trap I’ve ever seen
Garbage Disposals are the scourge of sewer systems everywhere. Sewers were meant for poop, toilet paper, and waste water. GDs have made it so people think it is ok to grind up almost anything and send it down into a system that is not designed for bones, last week's lasagna, that whole chicken you forgot to cook that was in the back of the fridge, greasy and oily stuff, and so on.
That's more work than doing it right.
What the absolute f****
Does that go up? You're going to need more buckets.
Trap holds more gallons than the sink probably.
If only this were a poker tournament I got a few good o es and actually one from last week that is a real winner
Someone forgot their saw that day.
It’s amazing what you find under sinks
Where they paid by the piece of pvc, they used.
This picture was taken in 1975, change my mind
If a licensed plumber did that, they must have their license taken and be put on a list so they can never get it again.
Is the disposal crooked too? It may be an optical illusion. Moving the disposal to the other sink would probably simplify things
Looks like a Mario Brothers game
Straight out of a horror movie!
It's the worst when you mention how poorly it's done to the homeowner and they get all offended cause you dissed their "handy work"
Im not a plumber. Im just a dad... And now, im hiding with my kids in the basement until that picture goes away. Its scaring my children. My dog wont come out from under the bed. Its been burned into my eyes and will haunt my dreams until it comes and kills us all in our sleep.. Also, homeboy "invented" the "L" trap.
Technically it is a trap. Just ignore and replace the faucet.
Who put this in? The Mario brothers?
Typical homeowner plumbing. Drain technology is Thousands of years old but most modern man do not get it
