plumbing:leaking pedestal sink drain fixed

I wish I could see the first part of the missing video where you remove the pedestal of the sink without removing the sink. It might be as simple as propping it up and twisting it out, but this is what I need to do to follow the rest of your vid.

I have that kind of bathroom sink. I dropped my necklace by accident and it’s in the drain. I tried to retrieve it but very difficult to access the pipe. Whoever invented this kind of sink is so inconsiderate and wasn’t thinking very well the accessibility of common sink mishaps!Now i am here You Tubing and I found your video. Thank you

I'm no plumber, but I installed a pedestal sink for my mother years ago. There is absolutely no room inside the pedestal to turn a pipe wrench, or a pair of Cannellock pliers. Obviously, the engineers who design these sinks never work on them.

thank you so much your video was so helpful it saved me a whole lot of money. As I watched you take apart the pedestal sink i realized there was a plastic washer in the area near the pop up drain that needed to be tightened now my drain doesn"t leak thanks,

Thanks for sharing! Saved the day here as I knew nothing about working with a pedestal sink.

Hi Steve, yep pedestals = pain in the arse to work on, i always try to pull them out and prop the basin with a length of 1" x 2", makes working on them a bit easier as long as the basin is fixed good to the
Keep up the good work : )

As of 10 minutes ago, I used to think pedestal sinks were cool. Now I'm dreading having a plumbing issue. I can hear the plumber now. "Imma have to charge you extra for having a pedestal sink". 😂😂

[michellebeebelewisfrith]

Agreed!!!! I hate ours to. Watching you fix it because we have to to....😒

[joycedudzinski]

Check off purchase list: No pedestal sink

When I see hair wrapped around the stopper arm I think Girls with their long hair. My days of cleaning out hair will go way down once my daughters move out.

hey steve, great video! Could you tell me how you managed to remove the pedestal sink base please? Thanks!

[TheJanicetunes]

How did you remove the bottom part while leaving the top part connected to the wall? I have to change out the pop up assembly. I much rather do it your way.

[beckhamzhang]

Impressive!! Is it safe to remove pedestal from top? Was there enough support to hold the top while you are fixing the faucet? Thank you.

[jhhvacplumbing]

YES YES YES, we all hate pedestal sinks, nice lil repair Steve .

[SteveSam]

Steve, Good Job. Those pedestal sink stands can be a pain to work around.

How is the pedestal removed and replaced?

[skeggjoldgunnr]

My first pedestal sink anything; she bought a new one. "Install it." well. No stud in wall to auger screw it to. Anchor clips were a joke, the china where the clips lined up was mal-formed too much to fit behind anchor plates and stay. The upright wanted anchors through the tile floor. Waste arm wrong height. Yeah. My first pedestal sink - and I hate them still to this day, each and every one of them in their own special way...probably 150 pedestal sinks later.

Watt a pain in the @ss to get that piece out !! Great job as always Steve

Makes you wonder why they make the thickness of the wall tubing so thin. You can’t help but think it’s a planned obsolescence design
