    Nice, clear with easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much. Have a leak in my laundry room sink for over a year, with no know-how to fix, outside of calling a $$$ plumber.

  • @jewdd1989
    @jewdd1989 2 года назад

    Thank you! Last night my Mom dumped gluten free spaghetti noodles (gluten free noodles are denser and not as soft or mushy!!!) down the drain and long story short and after a couple YT “how to” videos I had to remove the pea trap to relieve a tremendous clog she created. Anyways while down under my kitchen sink and by the disposal, I saw my other sink was leaking water above where the pea trap had been unscrewed and loosened. Turns out the under sink strainer had corroded and in a twisted fate, had completely failed when she was plunging both sinks. So water was everywhere but fortunately it happened while I was there and not found days later or something horrific like that. That’s when I found you! Btw the very last step (before you install your pea trap) when you screw the metal nut on to seal the strainer below… that didn’t work for me and the previous strainer (set up by a plumber I’m hoping) used a plastic nut that held it tight (till it failed) so after trying with the metal nut a few times I resulted in using the plastic nut which helped to seal up little spots of water that were forming around the metal nut. I’ve never used that word (nut) so many times. Anyways I think it’s because the pipe that connects to the strainer is at a slight angle from how the pipes were put together originally (not by me!!!) and that’s why this thinner metal nut didn’t hold as strong. I’m going to have my brother in law stop by and check out my “work” to be sure but thank you so much! You made the steps very easy to follow and in a calm manner when persons like myself don’t feel so calm lol, I really appreciate it! I definitely used plumbers putty and will be caulking with clear silicone around the drain up top to be extra sure water can’t leak through. If you read this and have any advise pls respond 👍🏼 Plumbing is probably the most intimidating besides using a table saw so advice is appreciated

      Oh man jewdd. You rocked it!!! That sounded crazy but you managed to get it done then tell the story like you owned it. Great job. After you work on sinks and troubled drains, it gives you respect for the components and what can damage them. Thanks for the heads up about the gf noodles. Rice is also a bear. Thank you so much for sharing. So glad it helped you

    Thanks Dustin for clearly showing every step. I thought the thing you called the "new washer" was just a packing part that was to be replaced by the new tail piece that I had to buy. I was getting a leak right there. I'll now go put that new washer in and hope for no leaks.

    • @homemend

      Awesome berr. Yes sir that drop in washer in the tail piece will leak every time. You got this.

    thanks for the help... I ended up having to buy the special wrench to remove the basket nut thing, it was on too tight and I really don't have a lot of tools but we managed to loosen it and follow your instructions. TYVM

    • @nategray588

      The nut under the the basket is to tight. Do you have any suggestions to loosen it without destroying it

    • @homemend
      @homemend  6 лет назад +2

      hi nate! they do sell a wrench to loosen them for about 15 dollars, but a new basket strainer is about 10. i usually just swap out the basket anyway but you can also take a screw driver and hammer and tap it in the "loosening" direction. i hope this helps.

    • @danielmelvin4525
      @danielmelvin4525 6 лет назад

      Nate Gray hammer and a old chisel or Flathead screwdriver

    • @danielmelvin4525
      @danielmelvin4525 6 лет назад

      Nate Gray you'll prob wanna replace the basket which comes with a new nut, gasket, and cardboard piece. I got mine for 10 bucks stainless steel.

    I’m gonna try, I’m old and not sure if I can sit on floor and reach but I’m gonna try. I have many more pipes than that, and what about the blue stuff you use to paint on the pvc threads? Course, that was back in the day. Thanks for the video, wish me luck, going to get the stuff👍

    • @homemend

      @jenniferbutterfield3212 3 года назад

      Another thing....Right side of sink leaked so I had a bucket underneath collecting. Realized as I took it out it too was leaking! Nice lil pond formed for I don’t know....maybe....1....2 years.

    This video was extremely helpful. Unfortunately, the worker at the hardware store didn’t tell me to grab putty, despite me telling him I need everything right down to the proper wrench. I used silicone instead. Should I consider going to grab putty and redoing it?

    • @homemend
      @homemend  3 года назад +2

      Hey Hassan. The putty is the best IMO but people do use silicone. If it fails, you’ll know how to fix it. You got this.

    Thank you, appreciate for sharing. I have a standard kitchen strainer and purchased a new ones. But when I got home and opened them up, realized they were deep dish strainers. Would it throw everything off if I went ahead and installed? My first time 😮 trying this.

  • @Msmomma1973
    @Msmomma1973 5 лет назад +1

    This was so helpful, because I bought all the other small parts! I thought I had to buy a whole new sink, my question is my cabinet is destroyed with mold, how do I remove just the cabinet without taking counter top off?

    • @homemend
      @homemend  5 лет назад +1

      Hi ms momma! youre awesome! If your cabinet needs help after, here is a video below how to replace the floor in it. If you need the whole base cabinet its kind of like surgery but you can do it! I hope this helps and thanks for commenting!
