Under sink drainage


Mike Jones

Recommended Posts

Could someone give me some advice please? 
Having an issue with the dishwasher flooding and not draining properly,

but have now realised it’s not an issue with the dishwasher itself. 
Thinking it’s because of how low our sink trap is compared to the waste external pipe? 
and if so, what the best solution would be?

Which pipe is doing what? Please don't tell me the waste out pipe for the lot is that Flexi thing going UP at the back of the image?!

 

If it is, then the whole thing needs to be replumbed properly so there is adequate fall after the trap.

 

Can you provide any more context? Was this done recently or been like it forever? Where is the main sewer in relation to the photo? How does the 40mm waste pipe connect to the main 110mm sewer?

Yes unfortunately the flexi pipe is the main waste pipe out the back. 
it’s been like it for a few years since we had a butler sink put in, hence why the sink trap is so low in comparison to the external waste. 
Only properly looked at the set up since started having issues and noticed since we got a dishwasher and started using that.
 

image attached shows where the external pipe goes to. So if I had to move the height of the external waste then that would all need to be changed aswell. 
 

what’s the best/ easiest way to solve it? Move the height of the external waste pipe? IMG_3769.thumb.jpeg.ddb320e42d76d033c5fbe5c9c1e1f018.jpeg
