The possible reason for your leaking kitchen sink… (unrestrained campaign against magic waste pipes!)
Dear reader, this is something we’ve all quite experienced and can attest to how annoying it is – A leaky kitchen sink.
It’s messy and tacky and let’s not forget how it can make your kitchen stink with the wastewater that’s leaking.
Having a leaky kitchen sink is a messy experience. But having to keep changing and fixing the pipes constantly is the worst.
And here’s a possible reason why you’ve changed your kitchen pipes more than twice in two weeks already.
If the pipe under your kitchen sink is slinky, flexible, and stretchy, aka the so-called “magic waste pipes” then that is most likely the cause of your problem.
Magic waste pipes as they’re popularly called are never ideal for long-term use in your home and they are bound to get clogged easily and have leakages. The ridged interior of these flexible pipes can catch debris more easily than smooth-walled rigid pipes, and this leads to frequent clogs.
However, because they’re quite cheap and easy to install, your plumber does not hesitate to whip them out for you just to have you call him back every two market days for the same problem.
What pipes should you use then? Use trap pipes. Bottle pipes, J-traps, P-traps, S-traps etc. These are more durable and professionally recommended. Plus, when properly installed, you won’t have a leaking kitchen sink pipe problem for a long time.
Look out for this when your plumber comes to fix your kitchen sink or when your kitchen sink keeps leaking.
Let our professionals inspect that home you want to buy/rent. This is just one of the many things we look out for.
