P Trap
P Trap
If your sink is draining slow, the P-trap is usually where all the nasty stuff is hiding. I like replacing it when the old one is stuck or just too gunked up—it's cheap, quick, and you end up with a clean install. Just make sure you match the size (inch and a quarter vs inch and a half) and use the right gasket.

What DIY Reid says
“biggest problem that you're going to have is a lot of your gunk and all that is stuck on a P trap”
“So, what we're going to do in this video is show you how to remove this and clean this and also how you can remove the stopper and clean that out cuz I guarantee you 99 out of 100 times if you clean out the P trap and clean out that stopper, you're going to solve your problems”
“Make sure I get it maybe a towel, get all the water out of here cuz once you undo the P trap, all the water that's sitting in here, if it's still sitting in here, is going to come through into your cabinet”
“So you got the P trap here that we're talking about”
“And a new P trap installed”
