How Slow Draining Sink Turns Into More Work!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Position a bucket or container directly underneath the P-trap to collect any water or debris. Unscrew the plastic slip nuts connecting the P-trap to the tailpiece (from the sink) and the wall pipe. Carefully remove the P-trap. Inspect the inside of the P-trap for clogs; in this case, it appears relatively clear. However, significant hair and grime buildup are visible in the vertical drain pipe extending from the sink basin.

Goal: Disconnect the P-trap to inspect it for obstructions and assess the condition of the vertical drain pipe.

Tools and materials
