DIY Plumbing: How to Easily Clean Your Bathroom Sink Stopper
Baltimore, MD Baltimore Plumber Shares Expert Tips for Clearing Slow Drains Baltimore, MD – Donovan WaterWorks, a local queer woman-owned and operated plumbing business, has released an informative video demonstrating a common solution for slow-draining bathroom sinks: cleaning the pop-up assembly. The tutorial, shared on social media, offers a step-by-step guide for homeowners to tackle this often-overlooked maintenance task. The video features the owner, who explains the function of the pop-up stopper, which controls water flow in the sink. "In most cases, you can't remove this stopper unless you disassemble it," she notes, clarifying a common misconception. She then guides viewers through the process of unscrewing a nut located beneath the sink to detach the rod that operates the stopper. Once the stopper is removed, the video highlights the accumulation of debris, often the cause of slow drainage. Viewers are advised to clean the stopper thoroughly. The plumber then demonstrates the reassembly process, emphasizing the importance of correctly aligning the rod with the stopper's hole to ensure proper function. The practical guide aims to empower individuals with basic plumbing knowledge, potentially saving them the cost of a professional service for simple clogs. The video has garnered positive feedback from viewers, with many expressing appreciation for the clear and thorough explanation.
