A leak under the sink can waste water and damage the cabinet if it continues. Use this guide to make safe observations, decide when professional help is appropriate, and reach the Leak Repair service path.

What a leak under the sink may mean

The water may be coming from a faucet, valve, or another leaking connection. A visible drip does not identify the exact source by itself. If simple fixture fixes do not stop the leak, EPA WaterSense advises consulting a plumbing professional.

What to safely observe

Look from outside the cabinet for the first place water appears. Note whether the leak happens while the faucet is running or continues when the sink is not being used. Check for damp cabinet surfaces or standing water. Do not open gas lines or attempt electrical, structural, or other unsafe repairs.

When to contact a plumber

Contact a plumbing professional if the leak continues, the source is unclear, water is accumulating, or a simple fixture fix does not stop it. If no visible source appears, EPA WaterSense recommends checking the water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used; a change may suggest a leak is present.

Choose the Leak Repair service

Use Leak Repair when water is escaping from under a sink and you need the source identified or the leak stopped. Confirm that the provider serves your Los Angeles address and handles under-sink plumbing leaks before scheduling.

Questions to ask before scheduling

Ask whether the company handles leaks under kitchen or bathroom sinks, whether the visit includes identifying the leak source, what information they need before arriving, and whether they serve your Los Angeles address.

What to do now

Make a safe visual note of where and when the water appears. If the leak continues or you cannot identify the source, go to Leak Repair for the next service step and provider options.
