The accordian style waste line has been installed in an un-workman like manner and is succeptible to to "clogging" Recommend having the necessary repairs made by a licensed plumber.

Hope that helps. Those accordian waste lines are more likely to clog, even if they are installed properly.

You don't need a long drawn out explanation of this comical waste pipe installation...

"Improper waste pipe installation, have a licensed Plumber evaluate and estimate repairs to kitchen waste piping".

If that mess isn't leaking, with all the submerged slip joints, it would be amazing. The hardest thing to fix there is the height of the drain outlet. It looks like the garbage disposal may never drain completely.

I like comments short, sweet, and to the point--

"The kitchen sink and disposer is not plumbed correctly and is likely to cause problems with drainage in the future. Have a licensed plumber install the drainage system consistent with current plumbing standards"

Funny Charley--

Makes you wonder if they do things like that intentionally, you would think the odds of them accidentally doing one correctly would be 50-50---

Those odds are to low Dale, there are way to many ways of them doing it wrong than there are in doing it right.

Don't you think.
