Trap and Waste Pipe Replacement in Edinburgh & Midlothian
Leaks under your sink? Unpleasant smells in the bathroom? Slow draining water? These are common signs that your trap or waste pipework needs attention. At Able Girl Plumbing, we offer expert waste pipe and trap replacement services across Edinburgh and Midlothian, helping homeowners, landlords, and tenants fix drainage issues before they cause long-term damage.
💧 What is a Waste Pipe Trap—and Why It Matters
The trap is the curved section of pipe under sinks, baths, showers, and basins. It holds a small amount of water to block unpleasant smells from rising back up into your home. Over time, traps and waste pipes can wear out, crack, or become misaligned—leading to:
- Leaks under sinks or units
- Persistent foul odours
- Blocked or slow-draining water
- Damp damage to floors or cabinets
- Mould or rot in hidden areas
In homes throughout Edinburgh—especially older properties in areas like Stockbridge—these issues can be even more common due to aging plumbing materials.
🔍 Signs You May Need a Waste Pipe or Trap Replacement
It’s not always obvious at first, but these symptoms are red flags that something’s not right with your waste system:
✅ Slow drainage that persists after plunging
✅ Musty or sewage-like smells near kitchen or bathroom fixtures
✅ Visible drips, cracks, or staining under sinks
✅ Loose connections or fittings that no longer sit properly
✅ Gurgling noises when draining
If you notice any of these, don’t wait. A quick inspection can prevent serious water damage down the line.
