Did you spot a leak underneath the kitchen sink?

1/16/2020 (Permalink)

This home had two layers of wood floor. After removing the first layer, we noticed how bad this valve leak was. Look at how wet the floor is!

Like many, the kitchen is the central hub of our home. This is where we gather to socialize, cook, prepare our morning drink, wash our hands, and rinse our dishes. So, when we discover a leak, it may feel as if all central functions of your home have come to a halt. Here are a few tips to follow:

1. Shut Off the Water Valves - Found underneath the sink
2. Call a Plumber – Identify the leak, repair or replace leaking lines or fittings.
3. Contact Insurance - Know what your insurance policy says before talking to your agent. It is important to read your policy to make sure your loss is covered. Sometimes, the repair may not be covered, but the water from the leak resulting in additional damage may be.
4. Call a Professional Mitigation Team - Water damage is risky to leave unattended. Hidden water can cause damage to wood, cabinets, flooring, and even the ceiling below.
