Q: I want to remodel my kitchen, and part of my plan is to move the sink to another wall about 20 feet away. Can I move the water line without too much trouble?
A: Moving the water line is the easy part. You can easily move it to another wall. The hard part is moving the drain.
Most of the time you have to saw-cut the floor in order to run the drain line to where the new sink will be located. It won’t be too hard though if the new sink location is on an outside wall. Then you can often find the drain line in the yard and can run a new connection up to the wall where the new sink will be.
