The kitchen sink is a high-traffic area in the home, where water is used not only for washing dishes and cleaning up, but also for laundry. Due to its use and frequent exposure to water, it is a common place for leaks in the home. Identifying and correcting these leaks can help reduce the amount of wasted water, as well as prevent mold and mildew from developing in your home. The most common type of sink leak is a leaking faucet. A leaky faucet is one part that needs to be monitored on a weekly basis. If you have a leaky faucet, the water is going to either drip from the spout or down the pipe below. However, it may also leak into the base of your cabinet as well. A leaking sink drain can be hard to detect because if there's no one in the kitchen when it leaks water will go unnoticed. If you think your drain is leaking, poke it with a pen or pencil to see if water leaks out. You may need to turn on the garbage disposal using your garbage disposal switch. Generally if there's no leak outside the sink when turning on the garbage disposal it is not leaking into the cabinet in which case there will be water outside the cabinet. Plumbing leaks can be serious and expensive if not corrected quickly. Many problems like clogs, slow drains, or leaks may seem minor at first, but may progressively get worse over time. Leaks are very difficult to locate and repair as they often take place underground in your yard or house. A plumber will be able to find the source of your leak and repair it. Kitchen sink leaks cause a lot of trouble if not be treated on time with proper attention.
