What happens here

If the sink's pop-up drain is not functioning correctly, inspect the lever mechanism under the sink. Reconnect any disconnected components, such as the trip lever arm to the drain rod, ensuring they are properly aligned and secured. Use channel locks or pliers to tighten any loose nuts on the drain assembly to ensure it functions smoothly.

Goal: Fix a malfunctioning sink pop-up drain mechanism.

Tools and materials

  • Channel Lock Pliers — Tightening the drain nut
  • Screwdriver — Adjusting the trip lever arm screw
