Hello All -
First post here. We are renting a house in California (Pacifica) and I'd like to redo the kitchen sink plumbing, which, as you can see from the photo, is in serious need of repair. The landlord will reimburse for materials, etc., but that's not the concern. The concern I have is that I'm not sure how to correctly reconfigure the plumbing. I'm sure it's not correct as is, but what do I need to do? I plan to use ABS rather than PVC, as I think it looks cleaner, but have no other thoughts on the repairs.
The disposal clogs and backs up easily under the current configuration, but I'm not sure if the disposal or the installation is to blame. There are also several leaks from around the p-trap and other areas, causing unpleasant odors from beneath the sink.
I'd greatly appreciate your help as I attempt to tackle this project. Thanks!
