Common Kitchen Sink Leakage Problems and Easy Solutions

### Diagnosing Mystery Leaks Under the Kitchen Counter

A pool of water inside your kitchen sink cabinet usually stems from one of four components:

1. **Failed Plumber's Putty Under the Sink Flange:** The seal around the stainless steel drain strainer basket dries out and cracks over time. 2. **Loose Slip-Joint Nuts on the P-Trap:** Temperature changes from pouring boiling pasta water followed by cold water can loosen threaded PVC connectors. 3. **Leaking Faucet Body O-Rings:** Water drips down the tap body and seeps under the countertop whenever the faucet is turned on. 4. **Clogged Overflow Pipe:** Food debris backing up into the overflow channel.
