The local AHJ said owner needs to install a p-trap at WM drain, pic #2.
This is under the kitchen sink pic. #1. The only sewer vent is on the other side of house. Christopher Currins Certified, Licensed Proudly serving the Illinois Metro-East Illinois Home Inspector Top 5 Tasks for January Last edited by ccurrins; 4/20/09 at 1:47 AM.. |

The pic on left, the horizontal pipe may make it ok, if its the proper length. I can't locate the exact length yet. I believe if it is 3" of horizontal run? "I have not failed, I have just found a 1000's way's that didn't work" Thomas Edison www.newbeginningshomeinspection.com |

The 2nd pic...the horizontal waste pipe is sloped uphill (improper slope) and isn't supported properly. And the washer waste line needs a P-Trap.

And your right it needs a p trap because it is indirect drain hook-up. He also mentioned the vent for the sink was on the other side of the House, so is there a studor vent installed for the sink somewhere? Marcel LEED Green Associates InachiAwardsPortal: Inachi US Member of the Year Award 2009 |

Think the supply pipes to the washer need to be supported with clamps?
If there's no vent anywhere near, air is probably getting sucked in around the tape. John Kogel www.allsafehome.ca |
