You won't know if you have one, but you will if you don't!

P-traps get their name from their distinctive curved, P-shaped design, which allows a small amount of water to remain inside the pipe after the fixture is used. This standing water creates a barrier that helps prevent unpleasant sewer gases, odours, and potentially harmful fumes from traveling back through the plumbing system and entering the home. P-traps are commonly installed beneath sinks, bathtubs, showers, and other plumbing fixtures that connect to a drainage system. In addition to blocking sewer gases, the trap can also catch small objects that accidentally fall down the drain, making them easier to retrieve before they travel farther into the plumbing system. Properly installed and maintained P-traps are an important part of a home's drainage system and help keep indoor spaces more sanitary, comfortable, and odour free.
