- 1). Disconnect the water lines using an adjustable wrench to unscrew the connection. Disconnect the drain pipe from the sink using a pipe wrench to unscrew the retaining nut attaching the trap to the drain pipe. Unscrew any retaining nuts connecting the sink to the pedestal using a screwdriver or adjustable wrench as necessary.
- 2). Lift the sink straight up off the pedestal. Lift the pedestal off the floor. Set both to the side.
- 3). Hire professionals to install the carpet or install the carpet by yourself. Cut the carpet when installing it near the location for the sink to open up any holes necessary for pipes coming up through the floor. Cut the carpet with a utility knife from the wall to the pipe and press the carpet down around the pipe. Installing a tack strip directly behind the location of the pipes provides added stability to the carpet.
- 4). Place the pedestal back in position over the carpet. Reattach the sink to the pedestal and reconnect each drain pipe and water pipe that was disconnected originally. Tighten all connections properly.
