Repair Leaking Under Sink

If you’re dealing with a leak under a sink, it’s essential to address the issue promptly to prevent water damage and potential mold growth.ย  How weย  identify and fix the leak:
Step 1: Turn off the water supply
Locate the shut-off valve (usually under the sink) and turn it clockwise to stop the water flow. If you can’t find the valve or it’s not working, turn off the main water supply to your home.
Step 2: Dry the area
Use a towel or cloth to dry the area under the sink, making it easier to identify the source of the leak.
Step 3: Identify the source of the leak
Inspect the following potential sources of the leak:
  1. Drain connection: Check the connection between the sink drain and the P-trap for signs of water leakage. Tighten any loose connections or replace damaged components if necessary.
  2. Water supply lines: Inspect the connections between the shut-off valve, faucet, and the supply lines for signs of leakage. If needed, tighten connections or replace damaged lines.
  3. Faucet: Look for water seeping from the base of the faucet. If found, you may need to replace the O-rings or the faucet itself.
  4. Seal around the sink: Check the seal between the sink and countertop for water leakage. If compromised, remove the old caulk and apply a fresh bead of silicone sealant around the sink’s edge.
Step 4: Fix the leak
Once you’ve identified the source of the leak, follow the appropriate steps to fix it:
  • Damaged components: Replace any damaged parts, such as O-rings, gaskets, or supply lines.
  • Loose connections: Tighten connections using a wrench, ensuring not to overtighten.
  • Sealant replacement: Remove old caulk or sealant and apply a new bead of silicone sealant.
Step 5: Test and monitor the area
After completing the repairs, turn on the water supply and check for any remaining signs of leakage. Monitor the area for a few days to ensure the issue has been resolved.
If you’re not comfortable tackling these repairs yourself or the leak persists, consider contacting a professional plumber to assist with the issue.
