P-Traps: Yes, They Need to be Cleaned

That stuff is nasty, but it sure does smell good don't you think? :P

[brutal]

I've been on vacation for the past week. I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow just so I can get some rest.

Today, it was P-Traps and sink drains pipes. The house we bought is 10 years old. I don't think the previous (original) owners ever cleaned the gutters (which I've already discussed) or the p-traps under any of the sinks. I've spent the bulk of the day doing that. Nasty, nasty, nasty. I don't know what that black, semi-solid, gelatinous, hairy sludge that forms in sink drains is called, but it's somewhat disgusting.

On the other hand, all sinks drain much better now and my wife is in awe of my manly prowess and home improvement skills. I could tell by the way she said, "You're making a mess."

So, the tip of the day is: clean those p-traps annually!

I think it's called Kimchi
