ABS Sewage Pipe -- Is this Connected Right?
We had a handyman come in to install a new, small bathroom in the upper floor. I am concerned about the waste pipe and how to connects with the existing pipe.
I've attached a photo below. Thee old piping ran horizontally from left to right of the image connecting to the older rusted looking iron pipe (which runs out of the house -- not shown). There was no vertical running pipe.
After the handyman was complete he added the vertical ABS pipe which comes directly down and connects with a Tee to the main sewage pipe (see photo). My biggest concern was the perfect vertical drop into the Tee; there is no angled bend to direct the waste toward the cast iron direction. Wouldnt the waste just smack directly at the bottom of the Tee and "maybe" decide to run left (back into the house) instead of right (to the city sewer)?
There is a slight pitch on left side though (not shown) but seems to level off at the area shown in the photo. I do notice on the exterior of the Tee there is a curving whoosh implying the waste "should" shoot to the right but i dont know how it is actually handled on the inside nor how affective it is. Should i be concerned in how this toilet / sink waste pipe is connected?
