Sometimes I come accross the following issue, and no idea on if/how it can be overcome. I'll try my best to explain lol
In this particular kitchen, there is a main wall. It has a window towards the left of the wall, through which the rear yard can be seen. Just before the other end of the wall, there is the external door to get in and out of the house. If you open the door, stick your head out, and look right, there is a drain. So in a nutshell, if stood on the inside, there is a window... big run of wall... exterior door, short run of wall, and where the wall ends, is where the drain is (obv on the outside of the property).
The question is, if the customer wants the sink positioned under the window, is it even possible to do that due to the waste pipe. If the waste pipe was to run straight out the back of the unit which the sink is sitting in, straight out the wall, then:
a) there would be a long run of pipe all the way to the drain, which in my opinion looks s**t
b) more importantly, it would run across the void for the door, which renders that impossible.
My only other guess, with my limited knowledge, is to run the waste pipe under the floorboards right the way along the length of the wall, past the door, core a hole out right at the end, and elbow it out at that point into the drain. The problem with that is:
a) all the work involved
b) it must weaken the floor
c) I don't know if its possible to get enough of a decline along that stretch
d) can't think of a d but there must be one lol
Either I'm missing a trick, or it's just a problem situation.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
