Dripping Under A Sink Or Cabinet
Cabinet leaks damage quietly. What to check before calling.
Under-sink drips soak cabinet cores and subfloors long before they show. Most are simple connections, but the damage they cause is not.
What to check yourself
- Dry everything and wrap fittings in paper towel
- Run the tap and watch which wrap gets wet
- Check the drain trap and shut-off valves
Likely causes
- A loose supply connection
- A worn trap or gasket
- A cracked fixture body
What the investigation does
- Repair the fitting by a plumber if needed
- Dry and check the cabinet substrate
- Investigate further if the meter still moves

Can this be fixed without opening everything?
In most cases the investigation narrows the target before any finish is opened. Small access points are sometimes needed to confirm a finding, and that is discussed before anything is opened.
