Good news. I fixed my problem for now. Only 0.5 inches of the drain is being used to drain water of the 2 inches available, so draining is subpar. I used a Husky Drain Bladder and immediately I could hear the crap being dislodged. Left it running for about 10 minutes and now it drains. I had to...

Ok I think I've figured out the problem. I decided to hook it up as simple as possible using a P-Trap and then loosen the screw on the coupling that goes onto the waste pipe. I turned the faucet on and it won't drain, as usual, but I could see where it was leaking. Right at the coupling. This...

Ok remeasured again and I was wrong. There is 0.75 inches between the very bottom of the waste, and A on your picture. Is there is 0.75 inches of space. So I guess that would mean, it can drain, but has resistance since it can't flow using more gravity and more pipe, hence why it kept filling up...

Because the sink drain is closer the way I angled the camera changed perspective a lot. The drain appears to be slightly slanted down, not up, so it might be 1/4 angled. To answer your question if I understand correctly. Exact center might be roughly D from level.

All the pipe I've been dealing with is metal, the arm coming out of w/e is really nasty looking too, on the out and inside. Underneath the sink i literally tapped the pipe coming down into the trap and it snapped right off and water came out from the top of the sink, which made me believe that...

Ok, plot thickens. I took a level from the bottom of the sink strainer to the waste line. The drain arm is actually 2 inches HIGHER. That is, the bottom of the drain (lowest part) is higher than the lowest part of the sink. When I start adding plumbing, that's at least 3 inches higher, before I...

Ok, thanks all. Tomorrow I am going to go get some extra fittings, etc and see if I can get this going again without digging through the walls.

It's 1 inch lower (bottom of the hole) So this is what I can tell. I shined a flashlight into the drain hole. It seems it goes one way. It's like a =======O Where O is the pipe coming out of the wall and it goes left. I don't know how did this whole plumbing in this house but something...

No basement. I don't really know what is what and were. The cabinets are up against a wall that goes outside and a window above. All I know is the drain pipe coming out of the wall seems to be an elbow that goes left through the rest of the 8 ft of various cabinets behind the wall. I was...

Thanks for the reply. I did some digging and testing. From the floor (not the cabinet floor, but the actual floor) the waste drain is 25 inches high. If I measure from the cabinet floor it's 19 inches. The cabinet height is 36 inches from the floor, so that gives 11 inches or so until the drain...

Here is a picture of the waste drain and the bottom of the sink.

So here's the thing, suddenly under the sink there was a leak. This is not our house, it's my wives mother house. We moved in 6 years ago because she moved out and we needed a place. She bought it in 2002 and lived there several years. Anyway, as long as we've been here there has always been...
