A leaking basket strainer on a kitchen sink drain is one of those problems that starts small and gets worse fast. Water slowly seeps out every time the sink is used, and before long you've got a soggy cabinet floor, damaged wood, and potentially a mold issue on your hands. That's exactly what we were dealing with on this call in Euless.
The basket strainer - the fitting that connects the sink basin to the drain pipe below - had broken down and was no longer sealing properly. It's a common failure point, especially on older sinks. Getting to it means crawling under the cabinet and working in a tight space with awkward angles. Not exactly a fun DIY project for a Saturday afternoon.
We pulled the old strainer out, cleaned everything up, and got a solid replacement in. The drain assembly under the sink connects to the p-trap and over to the garbage disposal side as well, so we made sure the whole setup was tight and leak-free before wrapping up. No shortcuts.
One thing we take seriously - leaving the space clean. Our tech swept up before heading out, which sounds minor but makes a real difference. Nobody wants to deal with a mess on top of a plumbing repair.
Small leaks like this are worth fixing right away. The longer they sit, the more damage they quietly do to your cabinets and subfloor. If you've got a drip under your kitchen sink that you've been ignoring, it's worth getting someone out to take a look sooner rather than later.
