Old Vanity Removal Reveals Pitched Drain
I have an old house, and this bathroom is going to get completely remodeled over the winter, but I removed the existing vanity and ugly board that was covering up the wall.
I’ve got a temporary vanity to replace the old inoperable one and am going to re-cover the hole in the wall just to get a sink back in place before the full remodel starts. The only that concerns me is that the drain pipe pitches downward about 1/2-1/4 inch. There’s play in the pipe but not the kind that will pitch it back to level.
My thought is to cut the drain pipe on the length of pipe that connects to the drain stack and use a coupling to reconnect the rest of the drain at a proper angle.
Am I wrong in my thinking? Is this more work than it’s worth for 4-6 months before it all gets ripped out and redone?
