Plumbing Tips

Tips in the Kitchen

Dishwasher-Periodically check under the sink to see if the hose connection to the water supply line is secure and is not leaking.  Check around the base of the dishwasher for evidence of leaks.  Look for discolored, warped or soft flooring materials or water damage to nearby cabinets.

Refrigerator-If your refrigerator has an icemaker, check the hose connection to make sure it is securely attached to the water supply line. The wet spot you see on the floor near the refrigerator may be melted ice cubes or it may be a crimped icemaker line about to burst.

Sink-Apply new caulking around sinks and pay attention to slow draining pipes.  This may indicate a partially blocked drain.  Check the pipes under the sink for signs of water leaks.
