Do Not Try This At Home

Home inspectors at Pacific Coast Inspections get excited when they open a cabinet door below a sink and see a drain pipe plumbing maze. Not only is it a photo op, but you have to say to yourself… “Are you kidding me?” 2 deep trap walnut creek 3

This unusual plumbing configuration was spotted at a recent home inspection.

If you follow the water path from the sink drain… it drops 18” into a water trap which is okay… Then the water from the lowest trap is pushed up 8” into a second water trap… From this trap, water must flow straight up another 10” into the trap arm (the pipe that goes into the wall).

Typical installations call for a water trap to sit 2-4” below the trap arm… not 18” with a double trap.

I was extremely pleased with the home inspector and with his thorough inspection and reporting. I could not be more satisfied. The realtor, too, was impressed.

Thank you so much. I am greatly appreciative that the home inspector I asked for was willing to schedule an appointment within such a short time frame.

Thanks to everyone involved -- this has been a painless and extremely helpful process -- some of the best customer service I've experienced. The on-line tools are also efficient and helpful.
