What happens here
Before disassembling the P-trap, place a gray plastic container (like a repurposed jug with a cutout) directly underneath the P-trap. This container will catch any water, sludge, or lost items that fall out when the trap is opened. The narrator also notes the excessive amount of pipe dope or sealant used on the existing plumbing, which could make disassembly challenging.
Goal: Position a container to catch water and debris from the P-trap
