Malfunctioning Sink Pipes
All you need is a bucket and a wrench to get that hairy clog out, right? Think again. Doyle James, says unless you are certain you know where the problem is, dismantling pipes can be risky.
“Pipes are complex and very tricky to reassemble, particularly when they’re in close proximity to other plumbing components and machinery, such as dishwashers or garbage disposals,” says James. Even if you’re certain the obstruction is under the sink, if you don’t have prior experience with dismantling and reassembling pipes, you better leave it to a plumber.
