Step 1 · Preparation and Safety

Before beginning any work, gather all necessary tools and materials. Put on your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, heavy-duty gloves, and a respirator. Lay down a bucket and drop cloths under the work area to catch any water or debris. To prevent unexpected water flow, advise household members not to use any plumbing fixtures that drain into the line you are working on.
