trap or where water always sits. My way, you get the same or better
convenience without the pre-mature failure. Every piece of the entire plumbing
system lasting the same amount of time is the goal.

- Uh-huh, right. Really, that's what I said and meant...right? Plumbers could
just ride around with their Drain Augers in their front bicycle baskets. Stop
eating the putty.

- Again, how is it acceptable to re-pipe and/or re-drain a sink when the
entire rest of the building's system behind the walls needs nothing? It's a
common, regular and constant problem that needed addressing. And, what if the
reverse could be true? I think it would be great to not have my property
damaged nor my life disrupted and to be able to re-use my drain assemblies
endlessly with full confidence.
