So, I’m going to assume you’ve heard plumber’s talk before. Ever wonder what a p-trap is? In plumbing a U, S or J shaped pipe is located below or within a plumbing fixture. these bent pipes prevent sewer gasses from entering into buildings.

Ever accidently drop something down the sink drain and have to disassemble the p-trap to get it out?
