Fixing A Leaky Bathroom Sink Drain: Easy Diy Tips For Poor Design And Clog
What happens here
Before disassembling, place a bucket or bowl directly under the P-trap to catch any residual water. Then, using your hands (or channel locks if necessary), loosen the two large slip nuts on either side of the P-trap. Carefully detach the P-trap, allowing any trapped water or debris to fall into the bucket. The video notes an unusual, 'upside-down' configuration of the P-trap, suggesting it's incorrectly installed. Remove the P-trap completely.
Goal: This step details placing a catch basin under the P-trap and then unscrewing the slip nuts to remove the entire P-trap assembly from the drain line and sink tailpiece.
