Can I raise kitchen drain pipe?

6 years ago

Hi all,


I'm in the process of changing out my kitchen cabinets and sink. The house is 1950's concrete block. The drain goes into the block wall and I'm unable to completely demo the pipe. I need to raise the drain up so that the trash drawer inside the cabinet will ope and close. I'll probably have to hire a plumber to connect the sink and dishwasher but want to see what my options might be.


Someone suggested I cut the pipe and add a 90 on it then install trap, etc...


Also, the pipe is attached to the old with something that isn't a rubber coupler. Does anyone know what it is? (its painted white). If I cut it, I'm wondering where I'd cut it?


Hope this makes sense.


thanks!!
