Troubleshooting
Trap is leaking
Check that all connections are securely tightened. Ensure the rubber seals are correctly seated and free from debris. Realign the trap if necessary and re-tighten connections.
Unpleasant odors persist
The water seal may have evaporated due to lack of use or an incomplete seal. Run water for a minute to refill the trap. Check for any cracks or blockages in the trap or connecting pipes that might compromise the seal.
Slow draining
This typically indicates a blockage. Try flushing with hot water. If the problem persists, carefully disassemble the trap to check for and remove any obstructions. Ensure there are no kinks in the pipework.
