Accidents can happen and there are times that it can be too bad that it will cost you something very important. One pretty frustrating and sarcastic scenario would be a platinum ring with a diamond stone being washed down to the kitchen sink. You can say that you are rich and that you can get another one but what if the ring that fell down the sink is your wedding ring. This is truly an event that is worth panicking especially if your wife had found out. With this, you've got no choice but to find a way on how you can save it from going down deeper of what you will think might be the center of the earth. Kitchen sink or bathroom sink, there is a solution for this kind of fall.
Getting it back from the Kitchen Sink
Plumbers are now installing drain traps due to many cases of rings or earrings being flushed down from the sink. These drain traps can catch those solid materials and prevent it from going down deeper to the center of the earth. Prepare the tools that you would need such as a wide pan or a bucket and a wrench. Start working by removing all the tools that you have under the sink. Take them away as they can be an obstruction on your operation.
Find the trap which is a U or J curve that is located at the bottom part of the sink drain. If there is an access plug, remove it but if there is none, loosen the trap with a pipe wrench. Remove the trap after it has loosened and hold it carefully over the pan. Turn it outside down for the water and the ring to drain out. Put the trap back in, tighten the connectors with a wrench and examine the sink for leaks. Now that you have got the ring, sanitize before wearing and make sure that it won't be washed down the sink again.
Retrieving it from the Bathroom Sink
Getting your wedding ring back from the Bathroom sink is a very easy task. It can be as easy or much easier that working with the kitchen sink as you can just use your bare hands. This task would require disassembling the P-trap. Prepare everything that you need like the bucket for catching the leaking water and a pipe cleaner as well for reaching the contents that were stuck in the drain trap.
First, turn off the water from the faucet so that the ring won't be flushed out of the J-bend which collects metal objects after being washed down from the sink. Locate the J-bend, place the bucket underneath and unscrew the slip nuts with your hands. After a few efforts of sliding the slip nut and applying a gentle downward pressure, you will be able to extract the J-bend out of the sink. Dump the contents and see your wedding ring coming out of it.
