A slow drip under the sink is easy to ignore. Out of sight, out of mind - until you open that cabinet one day and find water damage, mold, or a warped floor. It happens faster than most people expect.
Here's what we were working with on this one: a worn ferrule on the tubular flanged tailpiece. That small rubber or plastic seal is what keeps the connection between drain sections watertight. When it breaks down, water finds a way out. It's a common failure point, and it's exactly the kind of thing our leak detection process is designed to catch before it turns into something worse.
We replaced the worn ferrule and got the drain line sealed back up properly. No shortcuts. The connection is clean and tight, the way it should have been from the start.
Under-sink leaks are one of those things where the fix itself is straightforward - but leaving it alone is where people get into trouble. Water sitting in an enclosed cabinet space leads to wood rot, mold growth, and sometimes damage to flooring underneath. The repair cost goes up significantly the longer it sits.
If something under your sink smells musty, feels damp, or just doesn't look right, that's worth a phone call. We handle drain repairs, leak detection, and emergency plumbing services in Lubbock - and we'd rather help you catch it early.
