Leaks Under the Kitchen Sink – How Serious Is This Plumbing Problem

March 8, 2023 by Boris Mechanical

“My sister just moved into a new place, so I went over to visit her. And in the course of showing me around, I see she has a bucket underneath her kitchen sink. There’s an inch of water in there maybe. When I asked her about it, she said “It’s just a little leak, I’ll deal with it eventually.” But that doesn’t seem right to me. So I’m asking you, licensed plumbers in New York City, is the leak under the kitchen sink a serious concern?”

Kitchen Sink Leaks: What You Need to Know

There are a number of ways a kitchen sink can leak. You can have a leak in the water supply lines, which bring the water to the faucet. You can have a leaky faucet. And you can have a leak in the sink’s drain pipes, which is what it sounds like is happening in this particular situation.

All leaky pipes need to be addressed, because the water that doesn’t go down the drain winds up in your household somehow. This can cause damage to cabinetry, walls, flooring, and more. Additionally, this water puts additional moisture into your living space, which can easily contribute to mold and mildew growth. In situations where the leaky water is being captured in a bucket or another vessel, you create small bodies of water which attract insects and rodents.

Kitchen Sink Leak Repair

If your kitchen sink is leaking, having it repaired will help make your home a cleaner, healthier environment. This is especially true if you have a leak under a garbage disposal. Having a licensed plumber in New York City repair the leaking kitchen sink pipes is a sensible, affordable investment in your home.

In general, new homeowners should be aware that pipes should not be leaking at any time, for any reason. Leaking pipes waste a lot of water. There’s nothing worse than opening the water bill and discovering you owe the city a fortune for water that just dripped out of leaking pipes.
