Diagnosing a Leak in Your Kitchen

Finding the leak is the most important part, as then you can make a plan to fix it. Is it coming from the sink, the faucet, the garbage disposal or somewhere else?

What Are the Most Common Causes of Kitchen Sink Leaks?

Kitchen sink leaks are usually caused by worn-out parts, loose connections, or corrosion. The P-trap under your sink might be cracked or clogged, causing water to back up and leak. Worn-out washers or gaskets in your faucet can also be the culprit. And if your sink is older, you could have deteriorating caulk or sealant where the sink meets the counter, which allows water to seep through. At Fry Plumbing, we do a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact source and stop the leak at its origin.

Can a Small Kitchen Leak Cause Major Damage?

Yes—it absolutely can. Even a slow drip can lead to rotting wood, warped cabinets, mold growth, and flooring damage over time. If the leak is hidden behind walls or under appliances, it could go unnoticed for weeks or months, making the repair more extensive and expensive. That's why early leak detection is so important. Our team uses proven diagnostic methods to catch leaks early and fix them fast, saving you from major headaches down the road.

What if You Ignore a Leaky Faucet? 

If you hear a constant drip in your faucet, don't ignore it. One constant drip is going to substantially increase your water bill, which means you will be bleeding money every month. What seems to be just a leaky faucet could be something more substantial. If you ignore it, it could ruin your entire kitchen if it causes a flood. Over time, the damage can spread to your cabinetry, flooring, and even your foundation—resulting in expensive, avoidable repairs. Early intervention is always more affordable than emergency fixes.
