Step 1 · Prepare the Work Area

Begin by clearing everything out from under the kitchen sink to give yourself ample room to work. Place a large bucket directly under the P-trap (the U-shaped section of pipe) to catch any water or debris that will spill out. Lay down several old towels around the bucket to absorb any splashes and keep your cabinet floor dry. It is also wise to put on safety glasses and rubber gloves to protect yourself from dirty water and potential bacteria.
