Steps

  1. 1

    Set a catch pan under the P-trap.

  2. 2

    Loosen the slip nuts on the trap.

  3. 3

    Pull the trap bend off and let the water and debris drain into the pan.

  4. 4

    Remove the trap arm from the wall stub-out and drain it too.

  5. 5

    Feed a suction hose into the open stub-out to draw out what's sitting in the line.

  6. 6

    Fit a hose-fed pressure flush into the stub-out and run water through to clear it.

  7. 7

    Wipe the joints, reassemble the trap arm and P-trap, and tighten the slip nuts.

  8. 8

    Run the tap — it drains clear.
