Hi all:
I changed the faucet in my wife's bathroom and noticed the sink drain just seemed to be in bad condition. No leaks, but I'm wondering why the previous owner of the house had to do this. Perhaps there was some underlying problem they couldn't figure and hacked it. There is a lot of putty on the drain tube (see pic below) with what appears to be different fittings going into the PVC.
There have been no leaks over the years but it doesn't seem right to me to leave it like this. The home inspector did warn me about it -- credit to him for that.
What do you recommend? Change everything over to PVC? What parts would I need? There is a Blackman and Homedepot next to my office. I plan to get the parts tonight so I can fix this up proper.
Thank you in advance.
