A slow draining sink is a drain problem: grease, food, hair and soap narrowing the pipe that carries water away. The work in this clip is the other side, copper supply pipe that brings water in, and knowing which is which saves a misdiagnosis.

The text on screen talks about grease buildup and slow drains, but the job underneath is supply plumbing. A gloved hand puts a tag on a brass valve assembly next to a red bucket. Tagging valves is how a plumber keeps track of which one controls what.
Two SwiftPro techs then carry a long length of copper pipe through a kitchen to a utility closet, and one kneels in the closet to fit it. Copper like that carries pressurized water to your fixtures. Drains are usually plastic or cast iron, and they work by gravity.
Usually grease and food scraps coating the inside of the drain, catching more with each use. Start by clearing the trap, or plunge it with the other basin plugged. Skip harsh chemical cleaners, which rarely reach the clog and are hard on old pipes. If it comes right back, the buildup is deeper and needs a drain cable.
