She Washed Dishes in a Tub for 2 Years — I Replaced Her Kitchen P-Trap for Free
People always ask what made me start these how-to plumbing videos. After years in customers’ homes I kept meeting people who couldn’t afford a plumber, couldn’t wait, or had been burned by bad service. One call still sticks with me: an older lady washing dishes in the tub for two years because a chrome P-trap had rusted through. Five-minute job. She asked what it would cost. I told her nothing.
In this video you’ll see that story and how to replace a kitchen sink P-trap, drain, faucet, and garbage disposal — plus the bath sink — so you can do it yourself when calling a plumber feels too expensive or too scary.
