How Slow Draining Sink Turns Into More Work!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by running water in the sink to confirm the slow drainage issue. Visually inspect the plumbing under the sink to identify any leaks, noting that the pop-up mechanism is corroded and leaking. Clear out any items from the cabinet under the sink and place towels on the cabinet floor to absorb any water released during the plumbing work.

Goal: Observe the slow draining sink and note a leak from the pop-up mechanism. Prepare the under-sink cabinet by removing items and placing towels to catch any spills.
