P-Trap Replacement in Olney, MD

An Olney household that's been in the same place thirty years has usually had the trap under the kitchen sink apart a dozen times, and the threads know it.

Call (301) 395-3831

Slip joints are made to be opened, and they're not made to be opened forever. Every disassembly marks a shoulder and flattens a washer a little more, so the practical answer eventually stops being another washer and becomes a new set of parts that seals on the first turn.

What Affects the Cost of P-Trap Replacement in Olney, MD

No prices appear on this page because every job is different. The state of the threads is what we're looking at. Nuts that spin freely and shoulders with no scoring take new washers and go straight back together. Anything cross-threaded, scored or previously wrapped in tape is past that, and the piece gets replaced instead. We can usually tell which within a minute of getting the first nut off.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's the usual reason. A washer is a soft ring that takes the shape of the joint it's squeezed into, and it only does that properly once. Each reassembly asks a slightly flatter washer to do the same work, and each one is turned a bit harder to compensate, which marks the shoulder it's pressing on. Eventually the parts stop being able to seal.

Once or twice for a washer, and then it's finished. The nuts themselves last far longer as long as nobody puts a wrench to a plastic one. Our habit is to fit new washers every single time an assembly is opened, whatever the reason it came apart, because they cost almost nothing and they're the entire reason a joint stays dry.
