Before you attack any leaky pipe in your Seattle area
kitchen, examine the pipes underneath the sink to identify the culprit. From the sink drain, the tailpipe leads into
a P-trap; a pipe that resembles a "J." The P-trap leads into another
pipe, which dumps into the waste line for the house. If you're not sure which pipe leaks, you may
have to replace them all.
Here are some of the steps in the replacement process –
1. Place a bucket
beneath the leaky pipes.
2. Lay out the new
pipes to see how they fit together.
3. Start from the top
and work your way down.
4. Detach the large
nut that secures the P-trap.
5. Detach the other
end and dump the contents into the bucket.
And on and on it goes.
