Understanding plumbing is a great way to resolving the problems. Many times I talk to people that get aggravated with fixing leaks under their sink…here I take away the mystery.

  1. And what if I did all of this and it is still leaking from the back? This was not helpful. 😓

  2. Hope that worked out for you. My two sinks have had their P-trap fall off repeatedly for the past year and a half, and leak constantly. Copper pipes, flex hose, PVC I never had these problems, only this Plum-Pak junk.

  3. I tried caulk and I tried duct tape and I tried tightening with a wrench!! None of it worked. Ha ha. All the things you said. This video was exactly what I was looking for. I’ll tear off the tape and caulk and try and reconnect just as you said.
    Thank you.

  4. My issue is there is no trap adopter that connect to the wall pipe is that what the thing called ?

  5. Great job with the detail!!! I learned once in a class and took notes but needed your video for a quick reference little did I know I would receive an entire break down! Thank You!

  6. So, you are saying if you have a leak there.
    Take it apart.
    Look at it..
    Put it back together, and "I can guarantee you there is no leak"….
    Ohhhh kaaayyy… 😉

  7. This is a great video, with just the right information. Thank you for being precise.

  8. Good job but change the title

  9. Good video, but I would stress that the back connection be fit and tightened 1st, then tighten the front connection, which is straight. It's the back connection that usually leaks. Thanks.
