Contractor sub installed my new single kitchen sink and garbage disposal wrong. Sub had a "blank slate" with this reno as I made the dining room into a new kitchen. With water running, water fills to top of interior of garbage disposal and then disposal never fully drains once water is turned off. Contractor installed Oatey vent but not a fix. Now says has to change drain line to go through the floor (we have crawl space where drain ties into main drain) or says he can remove the exterior siding panel and cut lower hole at back of cabinet wall to re-run the drain line into the wall and down to the crawl space. Have uploaded pics if helpful. What would be best option(s)?

Crazy, was that the sub's first job ever? Maybe he lives in a world where drain water goes up. Anyway, what you want to have in your setup is something looking like this for the water to drain properly.

Hi, I seemed to have a blockage in kitchen sink. A plumber came and cleared all the pipework that is visible inside my home (there was debris and pebbles!) We saw that the pipe that takes water down the gutter was visibly full to the top. He said he will return with a coil to push through...

Hello all, I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
