Leaking Drain Under Basin Or Sink

We can all agree that a leaking drain under basin or sink is one of the most common household plumbing issues. Kitchen and bathroom sinks, in particular, are the two most frequented areas in any home. And there’s no reason why all that workload will not cause a leaking drain sooner rather than later.

While some leaks are easy to fix the DIY way, others will require you to seek professional help. And that’s where Same Day Trades comes into the picture. Our expert plumbers do everything necessary to tackle a leaking drain under basin or sink

so that you don’t have to. We are committed to making the lives of our clients better by providing the right solution to all their plumbing problems. Right from establishing the case of a leaking drain under basin or sink to replacing parts if necessary, our plumbers will walk you through the entire process.

When Should You Call Us?

Apart from a sudden leak, we’d strongly recommend you to check for the following signs and call us beforehand to avoid flooding the house. The faster a potential leak gets noticed, the less will be damage incurred.

Loose Water Supply Connection

A relatively constant leak may well be caused by a loose water connection, resulting from improper installation. While most sinks feature two distinct water connections, there may be a third if the sink has a separate sprayer. Whatever be the design, each connection needs to stay firm. That said, corrosion or a failed gasket in the connector can also be troublesome.

Clogged P-Trap

As you may already know, the P-trap seals off the drain to prevent the outflow of foul odour. Over time, it gets clogged with dirt and debris, thereby putting more pressure on the pipe structure to create leaks. Other than that, corroded metal parts may also cause leaks. In that case, it’s advisable to change the P-trap.

Worn-Out Washers

Each time you turn on the faucet, the washer gets pressed against the valve seat. The continuous friction can damage the washers before time, creating initial small leaks around the spout. In fact, worn-out washers are a primary problem for compression faucets.

Corroded Valve Seat

The valve seat serves as a link between the faucet and spot to facilitate the compression mechanism. Depending on the frequency of use, the accumulation of water and moisture can corrode it pretty quickly. Hence, you may want to clean the valve regularly with professional help.
