Accordion-like drains do not have a smooth interior surface to drain easily and may clog. Recommend replacement with proper tail piece/p-trap.

Thanks Larry, I like it.

The sink employs an unapproved, flexible, corrugated drainpipe that will contribute to blockages and it should be replaced by a qualified plumber.

Thanks I like that also Troy.

“Insert Location” sink had a temporary flexible corrugated drain pipe installed. This type of drain pipe is prone to frequent clogging. Recommend qualified plumber replace with a standard ridged smooth wall drain pipe and P-trap.

Ditto to what John said…“Temporary” fix to drain problem…replace as soon as possible with proper components.

Accordion style drains should be tuned every 6 mths to maintain proper flow.

• Flexible drain trap piping improperly installed.
• Recommend professional plumbing repair with replacement of the drain trap assemblies.
