        "text": "A P-trap is the U-shaped section of pipe found under sinks, showers, and other drains. Its design is crucial because it always retains a small amount of water, creating a seal that prevents sewer gases from rising out of the drain and into your home. If the water in a P-trap evaporates due to disuse, or if there's a negative pressure issue, the seal can break, allowing unpleasant sewage odors to enter your living space.",
