Plumbing drain....
Is this short section with excess drop a real concern? B.A. King Home Inspections, LLC www.BAKingHomeInspections.com Serving Charlotte NC area and Rock Hill SC areas.

I would say no.

I'd concur with Jeff (no surprise there!)
Yet I'd still wonder why not a straight shot? Would there have been too much drop? Looks to be well finished as it hangs...and seems to be a good transition to a slightly larger diameter PVC. - Mike Michael W.

Solids will get washed right on by that drop would be my thought.

We are looking at 5 feet of pipe so to say proper slope would be wrong with out further info that could be mid point of a 100 ft run and the added bend be used to give added push . If looking at the pipe on either side if the cinder block pillar it shows that part of the run at a good slope.

1/4" per foot I believe is the preferred slope. Does this drain work as installed, most likely, is it a deal breaker, likely not. Will the purchaser fix upon pocession? Likely not.
