My husband is disagreeing with plumbers about the use of those plastic drain pipes that clamp together (rather than being glued.) When our sink was installed last year, the contractor's plumbers used those clamped pipes. My husband thought it was weird, but they said it's the normal thing now.
We currently have two problems under the sink: A small leak in the clamped pipes, and an unrelated (we think) larger leak from the bottom of the garbage disposal. My husband met a plumber who will be coming out to take a look. That plumber told him that he doubts the pipes have to be replaced or glued; he said that the clamped pipes were probably just not installed correctly. The clamped pipes are used for ease of repair and replacement. That sounds right to me, but not to my husband, who asked me to post this question here.
