Hi Everyone,
I'll start by saying I am not a plumber do I have any experience, so I am hoping for some advice. I think the drain under my sink is a complete bodge job and I want tot put it right because when the washer is on it smells the kitchen out. I have draw they layout in paint below as best I can. The drain pipes coming from the dish washer and washing machine are flexy pipe, the rest is hard. The flexy loops down through a hole in the unit under the sink so I unless I cut new holes in the unit I can have them going straight down at an angle. Bar the flew pipe the whole lot is within roughly a square foot under the sink.
I think it smells because whatever was poured down the small sink went straight down the flex pipe to the washing machine and is just getting stuck down there and rotting. I have just turned the pipe round so it points upwards to try and prevent this as much as possible, but I dont know if this is the best way to do it?
I am prepared to redo the whole drain pipework, but really would appreciate some pointers in the right direction.
thanks
