My partner plus I had a major leak in the family room.
The two of us did not realize water was leaking under the sink until the water started to come out from underneath the door.
The two of us rarely go into the section below the sink. The two of us keep outdated cups plus dishes down there that both of us do not use anymore. It’s honestly more appreciate an extra trash can then storage. When both of us noticed water coming out of the door, I shut off the sink so both of us could identify the problem; Unluckyly for us, the problem was already pretty severe. The leaking water was legitimately in the wall behind the pipes. The wall was wet plus the floor was saturated too. The two of us contacted a plumbing supplier to help with the repair. They brought us a dehumidifier to get rid of the moisture in the air plus in the wall. The portable dehumidifier was small enough to fit underneath the sink. The guy put a tube from the dehumidifier into the sink so the moisture could drain back into the sink instead of onto the floor. When the dehumidifier was placed under the sink, the moisture levels were around 78%. After both of us let the dehumidifier run for 3 nights in a row, the moisture levels were closer to 40%, running the dehumidifier kept us from getting mold plus mildew in the house. After that plumbing problem, our partner plus I are more careful about looking under the sink once or twice a week. The two of us weren’t being vigilant last time, however both of us will not make that same mistake again in the future.
