When it comes to your plumbing, one often-overlooked component is the P-trap—a simple yet vital piece beneath your sink, bathtub, or shower. The purpose of the P-trap is twofold: it blocks foul sewer gases from entering your home and helps prevent clogs by trapping debris before it travels further down the pipe.
What P Traps Do:
They prevent sewer gas and catch debris. The P-trap creates a water seal that stops harmful gases from rising up through the drain and into your home, keeping your indoor air safe and fresh.
The curve of the P-trap catches hair, soap scum, and other debris, which helps prevent larger clogs further down your drain line.
Why P-Traps Matter:
Without a properly functioning P-trap, you risk unpleasant odors, gurgling drains, and even health hazards. If your P-trap is clogged, damaged, or has dried out, it can cause serious plumbing issues.
