Well maybe to you it is, but it wasn't to me until it was pointed out by the plumber who came to unclog the blockage that caused a major backup in my home.

And I wasn't trying to compare my particular problem to yours. I was addressing the issue of the applicability of a warranty on any defect which is discovered after a warranty expires but could be proven to have resulted from an installation code violation.

Although it doesn't apply to your situation, the information I provided could be helpful to an owner encountering a faulty installation in which the installer hides behind the warranty.
