Default drain pipe

As you can see from the pic, the drain pipe goes thru the bottom of the cabinet, I could not locate the trap. I am assuming that it is beneath the cabinet. I could not locate it in the basement either. Is this a problem?

RR, why would this be an issue on your inspection? Is it because you are unable to get to the trap?

Or say you cannot see a trap, therefore you would not be able to determine if one is present. I would doubt myself it is beneath a cabinet, and if it was how would you service it?????

Yep. I have to be able to confirm that a trap is present. If it's not visible, then I call it out.

i agree. some people may think that the disposal will act as a trap not realizing that the exit pipe for it actualy sits above what ever water may stay in the unit. can't see it? mayby there's a good reason for that.
