Plumbing gone on vacation? Or just bad install? Slow drains.

Plumbing gone on vacation? Or just bad install? Slow drains.

When I am getting ready to perform a home inspection for Desert Sun Home inspections, I always ask the buyer if they have any concerns with the home.

The buyers have already been to the home and checked the home before making an offer.

On this inspection the buyers had a few concerns that they wanted me to pay special attention to.

One of the concerns was the slow moving drains. When they ran water into the sinks and bath tub, then released the water down the drains it would go down really slowly.

I would have found this on my initial inspection, this is a way I check the drains for proper operation.

? Here is a look at the kitchen sink draining very slowly.

There is a drain problem when the drain has bubbles coming back up the basket strainer.

I went under the home to check out the crawl space and inspect the under home plumbing.

Notice this drain line and the "uphill run"? This can cause all kinds of draining issues for the home owner or who ever is living in the home.

The drain line had been replaced at one time but the plumber either did'nt have the room or they simply did'nt replace the lines for proper flow.

With all the cast iron under the home, this should have been torn out and replaced with all new piping.

This would have allowed the drains to do their job and drain the way the lines were intended to drain.

Maybe Uncle Bob was moonlighting a s a plumber on this day. No one will ever know who did this work.

I only report what I find.

Have a great day everyone.?
