Lost Jewelry? Easy Sink Drain Rescue! #plumbing #plumber #diy
What happens here
To access the remaining lost earring, first locate and unscrew the nut that secures the pop-up drain stopper's lever to the sink tailpiece. Once loosened, pull out the lever assembly. Then, from inside the sink basin, grab the pop-up stopper and pull it straight up and out of the drain. Look inside the exposed drain opening, where the second earring might be lodged. Use a small tool (like the red pipe cleaner/brush) to dislodge the earring, causing it to fall into the container below.
Goal: Remove the pop-up stopper and retrieve the second earring from the drain opening
