ᐅ Drain pipe should not be installed beneath the screed (cement floor layer).

That is definitely shoddy workmanship, but probably not too critical at this point.

So this is really poor workmanship,

In what way?

In the sense that the pipe is simply moved 10cm (4 inches) further into the room, placing it beneath the screed.

The kitchen cabinets are raised on legs, so they won’t get in the way. Still, when working like this, you never know where you might run into problems.

So, here are the points that concern me:

1. You can’t have a continuous floor covering. If you ever want to rearrange the kitchen, it will cause problems.
2. Drainage noise is at least possible because everything is exposed.
3. Sloppy workmanship suggests there may be deeper issues.
4. The screed height raises questions. Why is the pipe sticking out when a 15cm (6 inches) floor build-up is standard?

Sure, maybe you swap the kitchen and bathroom sometimes

Nonsense, but even if… so what?

It was probably just forgotten

Because it’s sloped
