Common Kitchen Plumbing Issues & Signs You Need a Professional
Your kitchen sink area handles dishes, food prep, and constant water flow. Over time, faucets corrode, drains clog, and disposals fail. Catching problems early prevents costly water damage.
- Dripping or Leaking Faucet: Worn cartridges and seals waste water and can cause stains around the base or under the sink.
- Low Water Pressure: A clogged aerator or partially closed shut-off valve reduces flow at the kitchen tap.
- Garbage Disposal Failure: Humming, jamming, or leaks under the disposal usually mean it's time for repair or replacement.
- Slow or Clogged Drains: Grease and food buildup creates persistent clogs that household cleaners can't clear.
- Loose or Wobbly Faucet: A faucet that rocks back and forth means the mounting nut underneath has loosened—an easy fix that prevents leaks.
