- Yes they do and they're what rots-out first and takes the rest of the assembly with it. Thus, why there shouldn't be loose joints nor plugs in the trap or where water always sits. My way, you get the same or better convenience without the pre-mature failure. Every piece of the entire plumbing system lasting the same amount of time is the goal.
- Uh-huh, right. Really, that's what I said and meant...right? Plumbers could just ride around with their Drain Augers in their front bicycle baskets. Stop eating the putty.
- Again, how is it acceptable to re-pipe and/or re-drain a sink when the entire rest of the building's system behind the walls needs nothing? It's a common, regular and constant problem that needed addressing. And, what if the reverse could be true? I think it would be great to not have my property damaged nor my life disrupted and to be able to re-use my drain assemblies endlessly with full confidence.
