We received a call to a Dallas home for a sink leak in a newly remodeled bathroom. The homeowner had already shut off the angle stops—smart thinking that prevented water from soaking into their new wood vanity.
Once on site, we inspected the drain assembly and quickly found the culprit: a slow weep at the P-trap connection. This is a common issue after installation if a washer shifts or a joint isn’t perfectly seated. We loosened the slip-joint nut, cleaned and rechecked the ferrule, then carefully reassembled the fitting to create a proper seal.
After re-tightening, we ran water continuously and filled the basin to put the drain under pressure. The connection remained completely dry, confirming the repair was successful. It’s a quick fix that saved the homeowner from potential cabinet damage and more costly repairs down the road.
