Good morning!!

I have a question, although I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask!!!

How easy is it to relocate wastewater pipes in the kitchen?

This is the first design... right next to the oven is currently the sink, and therefore the water connection is located below it:

And this is the second design, which I prefer better. In this one, the sink would be in the far left corner, meaning it would be moved by two cabinets:

Thank you very much and best regards

Hello Honey,

Unfortunately, I can't see anything clearly in your pictures...

But, as the saying goes: Almost anything is possible. If the drain pipe needs to run in front of the wall, all the base cabinets will have to be cut out, and you might need to install shallower drawers in the middle, if you want drawers at all. Also, you should have a slope of 2 cm (0.8 inches) per meter (3.3 feet) of drain pipe. If the drain is positioned very high in the wall, that could potentially cause a problem.

Regards,
Wolfgang

That is why I already mentioned elsewhere that a floor plan view showing the exact locations of the connections would be important.
