I looked down and saw water pouring out from inside the sink cabinet. This is the remains of the trap underneath the kitchen sink. It had a hole in the bottom, but when I put a wrench on it to take it off, it just crumbled.
Looks like I’ll be taking the family out to breakfast tomorrow.

I had almost the same thing happen just now. I have PVC though. The last “plumber” here used putty instead of compression gaskets to seal the joints.
Good indoor project for tomorrow.

I’ll be replacing it with PVC tomorrow.
Ironically, I was going to go look at a scooter tonight, but the seller had to postpone, because he is a plumber and got called in for an emergency service call.

I had something like that happen a couple of months ago, but it was the garbage disposal that was leaking.

Plumbing was part of my rating/job in the Navy. Here is a photo from my resume.

Piaggio Typhoon. My research tells me this is a good one for lard-butts like me. The seller seems really nice. The scooter sat for a while, but he got it serviced before putting it on the market. And brembos!

Ugh, that sucks. We don’t have a garbage disposal, so at least I don’t have to deal with that.

That’s your duty as a Craigslister. Just don’t insult him with some obscure trade and $300. Lol!

No, no, no. If the scooter looks the same in person as it does in the pics, I’ll offer him a G.

Bummer!
I’ve had the exact same thing happen, then the tailpiece broke off the sink. Cleaning the trap turned into an all-day new drain project.

Ouch! Fortunately I just had to replace the trap. Took about 15 minutes and cost me ‘bout tree-fiddy. I spent a lot more time cleaning up the mess, and reorganizing all the junk under the sink.
