The pop-up core of a drain is the only pathway for water to enter the basin, making it particularly prone to trapping dirt and grime. As a result, the pop-up core may fail to function properly—or may not pop up at all. In fact, pop-up cores are typically made of metal, usually copper, rather than zinc alloy (as found in some lower-quality drains), so they are less likely to crack. However, when they become clogged with dirt, they can lose their ability to pop up; simply clean them thoroughly to restore proper operation.
