Avoid Setting Small Objects Like Screws Around Sinks


The video offers a quick tip for anyone who is going to be working near a sink: avoid putting screws or small items that could fall into the sink and go down the drain. Then shares his own experience of losing a screw down the drain and having to take apart the trap to retrieve it.

He also mentions that jewelry can also go down the drain, and it can be difficult to retrieve. I always recommend keeping small objects away from sinks, bathtubs, and showers.

Bonus Tips:

When working near a sink, use a tool tray or bucket to hold small items.

Be careful when using power tools near sinks, as they can create sparks that could ignite flammable materials.

If you do lose something down the drain, try using a drain snake to retrieve it.

If you are unable to retrieve the item yourself, you may need to call a plumber.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent small objects from going down the drain and save yourself time and money.
