What happens here

Reassemble the P-trap by connecting the clean sections back to the sink drain and the wall pipe. Hand-tighten all connection nuts securely. If your sink has a pop-up drain assembly, ensure the connecting rod and clip are reattached and functioning correctly to allow the drain stopper to open and close. Once reassembled, turn on the hot water faucet and let the water run for a few minutes. Check under the sink for any leaks around the newly reassembled P-trap connections. Observe that the water drains freely and quickly, indicating a successful clog removal.

Goal: Put the P-trap back together, ensuring proper seals, and then run water to confirm the clog is cleared and there are no leaks.

I wish we could let it run like that for a little while. All right? Shouldn't overflow while I'm cleaning up unless there is a stoppage. I found this clip right here for the pop-up assembly. That That looks like it probably hasn't worked in quite some time cuz she thought she lost that, but we're going to unload the sink. You can hear it. Oh, yeah. So, now with this clip, you've got to put one side in, you got to get the bar on, and put the other side of the clip in. We'll fill it up again. Then we'll drain it again. And now the the pop-up assembly rod works. I'm going to do this a couple more times. And more water we can put down it the better. So, if you put some paper towels down, you don't put any anything else underneath your sink, you'll be able to see if you have a leak there. And everything's good. I've tested it several times, but I always like to make
