Step 1 · Preparation and Safety Check
Begin by completely clearing out the cabinet or area under the sink. Remove all cleaning supplies, baskets, and other items to create an unobstructed workspace. Use a flashlight to inspect the pipes for any pre-existing drips or leaks. Place a small bucket or pan under the P-trap to catch any residual water. Turn off the hot and cold water supply by turning the handles on the angle stop valves clockwise until they stop. Finally, use cleaning rags and a degreasing cleaner to wipe down the P-trap, supply lines, and valves to ensure the new shields will have a clean surface to wrap around.
