I recently remodeled my bathroom and had a licensed plumber re-locate the sink waste line so it would line up with my pedestal sink. He raised the line 3 inches. The line is a T with the top of the T venting up, and the other side is for the waste flow out.
I installed the pedestal sink with p-trap and tail pipe and have noticed that after 4-5 seconds of the water being turned on, the water starts backing up and drains very slowly there after.
I have tried to remove and re-install the p-trap and that has not worked. This bathroom has hardly had any use, and I am a new homeowner, so I really do not know how well the bathroom worked beforehand because I was remodeling the bathroom day one after closing.
Attached is a picture of the tail pipe (yes, it is missing the nut and washer)
and picture of the old and new plumbing
I'm not sure what to try to troubleshoot to find the problem. Thoughts?
