Step 8 · Test for Leaks

This is a critical final check. Remove the bucket and dry the P-trap and connections completely with a paper towel. Turn on the sink faucet—start with a slow stream, then increase to full blast. Let the water run for at least a minute. While it's running, closely inspect both slip nut connections for any signs of dripping. Feel around each joint with a dry finger or a fresh paper towel to detect subtle leaks. If you find a leak, turn off the water and tighten the corresponding nut slightly more.
