You know what the drain trap is? Despite that being a long and fancy (well, fancy-sounding) word, it’s really just a little piece of your sink that’s very important. A drain trap is a curved portion of pipe beneath your sink that intercepts clogs and bad smells from entering your kitchen or bathroom.
Consider the things that drain out of your sink when wash dishes or brush your teeth — little morsels of food, soap, hair and heaven knows what else. Without a drain trap, the stuff in these traps could get trapped in your pipes and lead to a big, stinky mess. The drain trap snags these things before they get into trouble. It’s like a tiny superhero for keeping your sink neat and fresh!
Like any good superhero, your drain trap requires maintenance to continue doing its job well. Occasionally you might want to clean your drain trap to get rid of gunk and grime. You can achieve this by unscrewing the pipe under your sink and flushing away. Just be sure to reassemble it snugly to avoid leaking!
Drain traps aren’t all created equal. Some are manufactured using plastic, some are made using metal. Some are large, and some are small. Selecting the right drain trap for your sink is essential in order to have it fit well and last a long time. OSONOE provides good quality drain traps that are both durable and easy to put on, which will help your sink maintain a great condition.
The best drain traps can get into trouble every now and then. If you spot a slow-draining sink or unpleasant odors, it’s time to check your drain trap. Check the pipe for clogs and leaks, and confirm everything is secure. If you are still having trouble, you may need to contact a plumber for assistance.
