Replacing a Sink Trap (P-Trap)

In this episode of TORQUE & TAPE, the listener is guided step by step through one of the most common and anxiety-inducing household plumbing failures: a leaking sink trap. Told from the grounded perspective of an experienced tradesperson, the story unfolds beneath a kitchen sink where a slow drip, a sour smell, and years of quiet neglect finally demand attention. The episode strips away fear and guesswork, replacing them with calm judgment, physical awareness, and real-world problem solving. More than a plumbing fix, this episode is about understanding how systems work, why small failures matter, and how confidence is built through correct preparation rather than force. The tone is steady, reassuring, and quietly empowering, turning an everyday repair into a moment of personal capability.
