What happens here

Once the pop-up stopper is thoroughly cleaned, carefully reinsert it into the drain opening and screw it back into place, turning clockwise until it is snug. After reinstalling, run water from the faucet again to test the drainage. The video clearly shows the water now draining quickly and efficiently, indicating the clog has been successfully cleared.

Goal: Confirm effective drainage

I wonder if that's always been in there. This is actually for the pop-up. This is a piece of literature for this drain assembly. Well, this nasty cleaned off here. It's also one of the screws in here, but it doesn't appear to be. And now this is never drained so good. I'm sure that the faucet install is going to be for another day because we ran out of daylight.

That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
