Is this plumbing under the kitchen sink normal?

[RAA]

hi, I was hoping for some advise?
the picture below is off the plumbing my builder has done under my kitchen sink. Apparently he seems to think this is ok but I have a few concerns and would like others views so I am better armed when I go back to/query him again?!

Thank you for any advise

What are your concerns? Before we comment.

 

[Scott_D]

Any better pictures?
Where does the big flexi go?

 

[Harvest Fields]

I would guess outside mate

You never know
It’s obviously going to struggle to drain

 

[Aire]

No that's not normal, that flexi needs to fall from the trap, not rise back up like it does

 

[Burger]

The whole waste looks pished, was your builder when he put it in? As so many say, builders build, plumbers plumb.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

that’s a beauty

 

[Ben-gee]

Yes it needs redoing, by a plumber not a builder, unless of course you have your own alternating gravity in the sink cupboard in which case it will be fine...

 

[Riley]

I sound like a broken record but plumbers plumb builders build. I wish people would take note and not always believe the builder when he says. Oh I can do that

Was it a Yorkshire builder who has trained water to flow uphill?

 

[Sharp Point]

Can’t see the problem with it.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Can’t see the problem with it.

It looks fine from my house.

 

[Riley]

My house fell down

Is it the same guy who fit kitchen taps on the bath

Thanks for all your comments. Sorry here some additional info...
It was the builder contractor who unfortunately did the refurb of whole flat (who was recommended by a good friend and I did a lot of research on!). I was told that his plumber did all the plumbing work etc.

But to me the pipe through the outside wall (top of that flexi tube) is far too high compared to the trap, plus that horizontal thing in middle seems to be full of water after one load of washing so I can’t see how this can be right!
I raised these concerns with the building contractor but am getting brushed off!
Thanks

Keep plugging at it

It’s unacceptable the way it is

The photo doesn’t show it all clearly, but just noticed what looks like the dishwasher fill hose.
Is that installed horizontally and due to the valve it connects to being same?
If it is, then that is also all wrong.

Here’s a few more photos of the mess in my butchered kitchen cupboard... seems more like spaghetti junction than a proper plumbing job to me?!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

So no need For the branch connector at all

 

[Harvest Fields]

I’m from Brum. I like spaghetti junction

 

[Scott_D]

If you can sort the plumbing you will still be left with a butchered unit

True but I reckon the butchered cupboard is the least of my problems

I used to drive through spaghetti junction every day. It made more sense to me than this plumbing fiasco

I assume that’s the pointless horizontal thing the dishwasher waste goes into, and which is lower than the out pipe and currently full of water

Correct you can get traps with two connections like the one further up so this should raise it up a lot

Thought they were rodding eyes

Quality workmanship there!!!!
Obviously done by someone who takes plumbing seriously and has pride in their work........not!!

 

[Trotter31]

Well, that's certainly made a bit of room in the back of his van.
He must've had those bits, kicking around for months.

 

[OffshoreGas]

Sadly that looks completely "normal", sadly not right but fairly typical.

If the white flexi is the final output to the main soil
then it will work but you have a massive trap full of dirty standing water which will accumulate debris. When you undo any of the connections below the level of the flexi outfall lots of water and stuff will come out. If it was temporary then ok but its not fit for
permenant installation. more info is required to be sure like a diagram and some indication of relative heights
