A relative just purchased a home which is 14 years old. The problem is only when the dishwasher empties, not when sink is drained. There is a leak where the pipe comes down into the basement. There is a p-trap going out into exterior wall of kitchen below a window. The line travels over 32 inches into a tee joining the drain and vent. Drain then comes down through the sill plate into the basement down into a 2 inch line where it's also joined by a 2 inch line from the laundry room. The 2 inch line goes straight down into the basement floor and ties into sanitary drain. The problem is this tee at vent is in the wall behind the cabinetry. My thought is to remove the existing connection of p-trap where it exits through wall and cap it off. I would then turn p-trap around, put a 3.5 inch piece on into a 90 and go down through the cabinet floor into the basement. I would then run horizontally over and put a new sanitary tee into the 2 inch drain line. Does this sound like a plausible solution since the connection is in the wall? It would still be vented.
