The Pipe Surgeon Tells How to Easily Replace a Kitchen Sink Drain

1. The Pipe Surgeon How to Easily Replace a Kitchen Sink Drain The Pipe Surgeon says that he has two full-time jobs: the first is his family and the second is cleaning drains. Step 1: When replacing the drain, use pliers to loosen the old assembly. Remove it. Step 2: Attach the short piece to the bottom of the sink bowl. Secure it with a washer made of nylon and then attach a nut. Slide both up the threads. Next, slide the nut and the washer, which will secure the next piece of the drain assembly. Step 3: Connect the tail piece to the parts that you assembled in step two. The tail piece should extend to the wall drain line. If the piece is too long, cut off the excess. Step 4: Attach the trap to the tail piece. Step 5: Position the trap arm and mark where to cut it. Step 6: Remove the arm and cut it to the necessary length. Step 7: Slide the nut and the washer onto the end of the arm that you just cut, and then slide the pipe into the main drain. Step 8: Align all the pieces of the drain and tighten them up.

2. The Pipe Surgeon How to Fix Tub and Shower Drains Like the Pipe Surgeon says, if your shower or tub are not draining, the first thing you want to make sure is that it is an isolated issue. For example, if your sink also has a clog it may be a coincidence, but it also may be that your main drain has an issue. You can be 100% certain that your problem is with the main drain if your sink drains into your tub. This could mean that you need to use a drain cleaning service or that a drum trap needs to be cleaned. When working with shower drains, you want to use an auger and feed its head through the drain opening. It is always better to salvage the clog than to push it further down the drain. Sometimes it’s not easy to do, and that’s when you want to use the services of a professional such as the Pipe Surgeon.

3. The Pipe Surgeon How to Keep Your Home Drain System Free of Clogs • The Pipe Surgeon wants you to know that when it comes to keeping your drain system free of clogs, it is important to remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Here are a few tips: • Save cooking grease in a metal can or a cardboard container and throw it out into the trash when full. • Do not put coffee grounds in the sink. Throw them away in the garbage. Use this rule for other foods too. When in doubt, throw food in the garbage instead of trying to force it down the sink. • Use drain opening screens where possible and clean them frequently. You can stop by your local hardware store and find options that work with your particular fixtures.

4. The Pipe Surgeon Preventive Pipe Cleaning • The Pipe Surgeon always stresses that regular preventive cleaning of drain pipes is highly beneficial. It helps to keep your pipes working their best. Regular cleaning also decreases the chances of having costly major repairs in the future.To keep your drains clog-free, use the following suggestions: • Run hot water each time you use a sink. Hot water flushes oils from food products down the drain and prevents build-ups on the interior surfaces of pipes, which leads to clogging. • Throw a few tablespoons of baking soda into a drain and follow it with running hot water. If clogging is a regular problem at your home, mix together one cup each of salt, vinegar, baking soda, and a few quarts of boiling water. Then perform the following steps: Step 1: Discharge the baking soda and salt into the cloggy drain. Step 2: Add the vinegar and let the substance foam for a minute or two. Step 3: Pour at least four quarts of boiling water down the drain.
