Prepare the Workspace

What happens here

Before beginning any work, prepare the area under the sink to manage potential water spills and debris. Lay down a towel or several towels on the cabinet floor directly beneath the drain pipes to absorb any drips. Additionally, place a paint tray liner underneath the P-trap to catch any standing water or sludge that will come out when the pipes are disconnected. This ensures a cleaner and more manageable workspace.

Goal: Protect the cabinet from water and debris during plumbing work.
