This is what my dad would watch in full volume on the weekends
You have a great dad
Thank you! Watching this with my hubby and we felt like we were learning from someone who really cared.
Then He sounds like a great guy!
My dad is 83 and watching Fox news full volume and I am fixing his pipe. I feel lucky to still have him and proud he taught me I can follow directions and fix it myself. And not embarrassed to call someone when I can't.
Im a dad watching this after the kids went to bed. Ahhhhhhh, saving $
Was about to call my landlord to fix my sink. thanks to this video you saved me the stress of meeting with my unhelpful landlord and time away from work.
So true when fixing ur own apt stuff is easier than dealing with the apt maintenance people! I feel ya.
I was able to fix my sink in 10 minutes. No plumber needed. You saved me at least $80.00. Thank you 😊
I lost my father last year, now I live with my mother. thank you for giving the great advice, I am now capable of picking up slack the house needed. you are a blessing!
Hi thank you so much as a women with no knowledge of anything plumbing related this helped me tremendously!!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to actually EXPLAIN everything. So many of these home repair RUclips channels rely solely on visuals without properly explaining the fundamentals.
You're a life safe man, I'm only 15 and im trying to fix my moms sink because it would drain so slow. Then I took out the pipes and put them back together I realised that water was leaking out the pipes good thing I didn't throw away that piece
I watched 10 other videos and could not figure out the rubber part. Thank you for getting straight to the point.
Thanks so much! You explained about the free flanges so well, we no longer have a drip!!! You're awesome and a great communicator and teacher!!!
This is so helpful and saves me the headache of calling the landlord. Thank's
I FIXED IT without having to bother my husband or call a plumber!!! The tapered flange was upside down, and the pipes were disconnected. I flipped it over, and it all screws back into place now!
Great explanation! Thank you!
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for making this video I was in complete tears until I watch this video and now my sink is fixed!!
I've watched a score of videos now and this is the first one that explained the process of replacing a p trap simply and clearly. Thank you for your help
Saved me and my mum quite a bit with the crooked plumbers around town. Thanks a lot man.
They're not crooked plumbers. They're just trying to make a living.
@@fidelbanuelos9601 some are crooked, some arent.
There’s crooked people in every field, there’s also some crooked mums too so……..
I spent $120 for a plumber about a year ago to fix a leak. This weekend another leak but fixed it myself. With mine it was all about that that plastic ring that acts like a seal. It had slipped off and I slipped it back on, tightened up things and no more leaks. One more thought, the ring was very tight and took some elbow grease to put back on..Happy do it yourself. Very good video. God loves you.
After looking around for a year I finally found the newspaper in the video. It was the only missing piece I needed to complete the project. Thanks!
This comment is not getting the love it deserves!
Totally funny...I wonder if most people just didn't get it, perhaps thinking that the "joke" was that in this high tech world he didn't have a newspaper, but hilarious about his search for the exact copy...
First time homeowner here. THANK YOU THIS SAVED ME
Thank you! I took my sink apart because I have a wife and three daughters and the stuff that gets clogged in there (mostly hair) could gag a maggot. Anyhow, I cleaned it and put it back together had a tiny leak. After watching your video I realized I had the gasket upside down so it wasn't creating a proper seal. I appreciate you and people like yourself posting these types of videos. I wish I had a little more faith in myself because I could research videos and do a ton of things around the house LOL. Thanks again!
My drain kept leaking, I was fixing it temporarily cause I was doing it all wrong with the O ring. Thank you so much. Pipes now firmly on and cost me $2.37 for new O rings . Thank you sooooo much!
I I am legally blind and was able to feel my way under the sink and was able to fix a leak I have been waiting for three days for a plumber to come and fix my leak and still have to wait till next Monday another four days. They were going to charge me $79 for the service call plus any repair work and parts. Thanks to you I can save my money and I don’t have a leak or a bad smell anymore you are super. Perfect for someone who has a very low income
Rhonda Warren good for you..I’m not blind and am struggling no matter how I put it back together it keeps leaking..
@@bigbiemacaw Ha Ha! Me toooo!! my duct tape stopped working and today I decided to bite the bullet and at least remove the duct tape, which I did, but can't loosen the ring thingy! Even tried WD-40 . I don't have rubber gloves like the other lady suggestedd!
For someone blind you sure have good knowledge to know where the letters are
complete madness Blind people have their screens read out loud through their computer and then use speech to type.

Wonderful tutorial! Now I can finish washing the dishes without having to wait for apartment maintenance.
I like tackling my own plumbing jobs. I changed my P trap but it continued to leak. This video is just what I needed.
64 year old female. This helped me so much. Did it myself!I did apply some plumbers tape around the threads counter clock wise!
Thank you, bathroom sink had a drip 💧 that was driving me crazy it’s fixed now. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
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!
One of the best videos on here about p-traps. Helped me immensely. Thank you!
I wish I would watch this a few weeks ago. Spend $80 and still have the same problem. I'm going in now to fix it right. Thanks again. I love your very detailed descriptions.
The only video that went straight to the point for something simple. Thanks so much for this.
Your demonstration was easy to follow and you succinctly covered all the main points. You’re a good teacher!
Excellent video and you saved me an unnecessary trip to a big box store.
Thank you fixed my sink in no time - thought I’d need a plumber but following your instructions I was able to do it myself- very clear and easy to follow 👍☺️
Thank you for this video. It gave me the confidence boost to troubleshoot the leaking coming from one of the loose connections in the p-trap. Your content is timeless. Very grateful.
We replaced the new pipe with tape and a gasket the way the old one was done. Turns out you were exactly right. No tape, no gasket, hand tightened appropriately and No LEAK! Thank you so much!
I opened the pipe cleaned it, but did not know how to put it back until I watched your video... Thanks
Bob, You're the "BEST!" I followed your instructions to the 'T.' The leak is gone, at least, for now. However, the unattachable O ring seems to be wearing out and needs to be replaced. I was headed to Home Depot, but they closed early due to the holiday. Anyhow, I can't say THANK YOU! enough. But Thank You!...Thank You!...Thank You.
Thanks Bob! A simple procedure explained simply. Great video.
You are the man; I spent all day tapping and using silicone. Turned on the sink and bingo it leaks like a sieve. I used no tape no glue all hand tight NO LEAKS.... I LOVE YOU. mAYBE i will get a piece tonight. I owe you a Beer...
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!! Thought I need to call my landlord just by watching your video I noticed my seal was not on correct which was causing the leak ❤️🙏🙏 you helped me look like a total badass in front of my boys 💪🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing this video.
Single mom with a leaking kitchen sink. Feeling much better about fixing it myself. Thank you!
Very well done video. Simple description of parts, purpose, and process of the all the pipes and connectors in the odd assembly. I just wanted to fix a leak . Now I have enough info to replace everything under the sink with updated pieces. Thanks dude
PS: Using newspaper as a leak detector was pretty darn sensible too
Thank you so much for this! I was worried I had broken something but after watching your video and following this procedure while it took me a few tries, I could stop the leak. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.
SOOO HELPFUL! I knew it was the way I was putting the rim on but I wasn’t sure which direction to put it! Exactly what I needed!
This video providing the not so plumbing inclined (but learning!) helped me out so much! I'm no longer afraid of all the nuts and seals! Thank you!
You just saved me at least $2-300 bucks! Thank you!
Thank you this helped me so much in my kitchen sink I’m a single mom and fixed it all by myself with having to pay an arm and legs for a Plumber to come out
I was simply missing a seal/ring piece in one section. Quick trip to Home Depot and problem solved. Sir, you are wonderful. ❤️
*Super helpful! Replaced a leaking bathroom faucet with no experience. 6+ trips to Home Depot and almost 8 hours later, I think I may have solved the final issue with the infamous P Trap! I used some extra sealant today to fix the inner threads and no leaking so far! 8 hours of work and frustration will save me $1000s over my lifetime as I now have a PhD in Plumbing! It's just unfortunate I bought like half of Home Depot's plumbing section during troubleshooting lol!*
Thank God for their return policy!
Thank you so much I had a leak in my kitchen sink. I looked at your video. And I fixed it. The seal slipped down so I just put it back in place⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Thanks for this. Last night brushing my teeth before bed, I felt water at my feet. The pipe from the sink pulled out form the P Trap. Sopped up the water. Now I know how to go about fixing this. Only problem I can see it there seems to be no threads hard to believe as that sounds. I kept spinning the nut and it wasn't grabbing anything. Will taker it apart in a bit and see what's what. I hate this house I bought in FL 2 years ago. NOTHING but problems & it's only 20 years old.
Helped so much! Whenever I turned the garbage disposal on or did dishes with soapy, sudsy water there would be a massive flood under my kitchen sink. This was well explained and so simple!
Thank you so much - I just found one of the connections totally unconnected, but hadn't quite figured out how to get it reconnected the flange being in the wrong place. Your video saved me a money and grief.
This video was such a help! I followed the steps and was able to clean the trap in our bathroom. Directions were clear and straightforward, along with the video itself being easy to see what was being done. Thank you.
Simple and well presented. Frank Sinatra was nice intro.
Need more videos. How install garbage disposal for slow people...lol
Just did my daughter bathroom sink no drips in a 10 minute zip. Yahoo next project. Thanks
Thank you so much, I've had a leak for days (stressed) and your video was so easy to follow. Yes, as soon as I can I will make a contribution because you're worth it.
Very concise, thorough and informative information. Thank you.
had a leak in newly installed vanity p trap and this showed me where the issue was--thank you!
Best explanation and so easily done best on u tube . Some of these guys do not know how to explain.
Thank you so much. We just had a big time leak under our kitchen sink, turns out the free flanges were in the wrong way. The Vibration from the disposal worked the nut off. Watch your video, saw the issue and fixed it, all is great now. Thanks!
This solves my problems easy and erases my gigantic plumber bill that would’ve come. 🙏
OMG---sink wouldn't drain--pretty sure it was my daughter's hair--decided I could fix this--how hard could it be? I was in deep, deep trouble until I watched this video---I got it apart based on sheer determination---but then couldn't figure out how to get it back together---was seriously panicking--I went to you tube before calling my local plumber and found this wonderful gem---THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You save me money and probably an argument with my husband:)
Good for you !!! Love it when ppl do it on their own !
Amen blessings ur way me too
Ahahahha congrats
Me too! When I finally got it all back together it was leaking everywhere I was baffled and so frustrated. Never thought of RUclips, now after three days of panic, swearing and despair it's fixed! I had the washers in the wrong place. So pleased I found this!
I believe you just saved me lots of money, worry and time. God bless your heart for sharing this video!!! Thank you a million times.
This video is clear and straight to the point. Thanks for explaining so well!
Ok so I'm 6 years late but I am missing that top seal piece 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏃♂️ I'm heading to the H.Depot and I'm confident ... thank you for sharing ! 😊😊
Thanks for the video. It was a great tip that you gave me when you said I didn't need plumbers putty, caulking or tape. I just fixed my leaking laundry sink and didn't run to the store to buy that extra stuff! Especially when you said these should be hand tight. 😃👍
I'm in the middle of preparing everything for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner when suddenly i notice my dog drinking from a pool of water at the base of my kitchen sink cabinets! Your clear explanation saved the day, and I was able to fix my sink drain before the demo vid was even finished!!
Thank you so much for the kind words, glad I could help out..and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 👌🏻👍🏻
@@StarrTile Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Oh My Gosh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve had a leak I’ve been dealing with for about a year. You have helped me and so many others with this video. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge.
This helped me sooo much! Thank you!!! Bless you forever.
You explained this really well. you saved me a trip to the store to get help. Thank you!
Best explaination on RUclips!
This was so helpful! I found that the kitchen sink P trap had become disconnected. This video helped me tremendously! Thank you!
Great help! Thank you for saving me the time and money I would have had to give to a plumber.
For us ladies that dont have a strong grip I just want to suggest wear rubber gloves.
Thank you. Very clear. Much better explained than in any other site.
Thanks for showing how it works. Stay blessed!
No Problem
Very helpful, gave me a few tips in how to connect my kitchen pipes the right way. Thank you!!
Thank you very much for this video, you're a lifesaver. Fixed it without a single drop!
Thanks. Your explanation of the integrated flange gasket thing was helpful.
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.
Soooooo helpful! Thank you for saving me hassle and money this was so easy to fix!
This was amazingly helpful video. The replacement P-Trap that I had purchased contained an unnecessary washer that the instructions said to put at the smaller end where the trap met the wall tube. After watching this video, I realized that it was unnecessary, as there is already a flange. Plus, I was over tightening with pliers. After removing that washer, and hand tightening, everything is fine!
Your comment made me wonder if mine was put together wrong. Sure enough, the flange was upside down. I flipped it around, and the pipes finally fit together!
So thankful for this video (for demystifying this) and your comment for getting me thinking! Thank you!
Thanks so much for your info! Took me an hour just to find a simple educated fix for my pipes! 🥰
Thank you for helping this old widow figure this out!
After watching this video I feel like a certified plumber now thank you
Great video-especially the info on the tapered compressed joints. Really explaining how they work.
Thanks for your efforts.
I got done with the bathroom sink in time for NFL noon kickoff and you can’t put a price on that. Thank you, sir!
Thanks Bob! Much appreciated. Ive always been a little hesitant to NOT use teflon tape, but I ve heard that teflon is NOT necessary. You just reinforced that for me. Im gonna hook my new vanity up without using a damn thing but the plastic washers that came with the p-trap kit. Thanks again! Thumbs up.
Thank you sir !
This was all I needed to fix a bad leak. Thank you!!
This was the exact problem I needed to fix. Thank you so much
Excellent video, I've been doing this stuff for 60+ years. I still need to blow out the memory cobwebs before I start!
Great explanation, simple to re-align the PVC nuts and the beveled washers, as explained in the video.
This video just saved my life and my sanity! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for your help. We are so grateful! It really work! Your instructions and directions are great.
Thank you! My washer wasn't build in and it had worked itself loose, causing a pretty significant leak but I fixed it thanks to your video.
This just worked for me, easy and useful fix.
thank you, good sir!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I was able to go right to the problem I was having and correct it with ease.
Thanks, after watching this video I got the confidence to self repair the p trap.
Thank you for the simple and clear explanation. Was able to save some money and fix my P Trap thanks to this video!
Thank you very much for this video! I feel confident now that I can find and fix the leak under my sink!
We had bottle fillers installed in our break room and the tech that installed them connected their drains to the existing sink drain. It developed a bad leak afterward and I was scratching my head....everythig was lined up and tight, nothing broken, I gotta be missing something...Watched this video and the note about the flared section always being on the downspout....the Tech presumably saw the downspout was too long and instead of cutting it to size he flipped the trap the wrong way! I cut it down and flipped the trap over and BOOM no leak. Thanks for your help!
Thanks, very helpful video.
GREAT video and easy to understand. Thank you! You gave me the confidence to handle this job myself. 😎
