What happens here

Observe the 'P-Trap Pal,' a solution designed to address the problem of dry P-traps in sinks. When a sink is not used regularly (e.g., in guest bathrooms), the water in the P-trap can evaporate, leading to sewer gas and insects entering the home. The P-Trap Pal is a small check valve that is easily inserted into the drain pipe just above the existing P-trap. The installation is performed by hand, requiring no special tools or a plumber, and takes approximately 10 seconds. Once installed, it prevents sewer gases and insects from passing through the P-trap, even if the water seal has dried out, providing a simple and effective protective barrier.

Goal: Prevent sewer gas and insects from entering through dry P-traps
