What happens here

Begin by inspecting the detached sink stopper. Look for any visible damage, especially rust, on the loop or connecting piece at its bottom. Next, examine the sink drain opening. Look down into the drain to determine if the metal bar, which the stopper's connecting loop would typically attach to, is present or missing. In this case, significant rust is observed on the stopper's connecting loop, and the internal bar within the drain is completely absent, indicating a failure of the internal mechanism.

Goal: Determine the initial cause of the sink stopper malfunction.

What they say

Hide

So my friend said, hey, Brown, while you're here, can you check and see if you can put this little stopper back in? And you can see right there we've got some rust going on. So if you get down in here, there is no bar. I think that the bar completely rusted off. So there's no bar to hold this on inside that drain. So we'll get up under the sink, check out the pop-up assembly. We'll get right up underneath here.
