Regarding A Leaky Kitchen Sink

Hello,

My question is I have a leaking kitchen sink it looks like it is coming from the Big main pipe that looks like it should be connected to the outside, When I first turn it on it seems like it does not have enough water pressure, then it starts pouring out under the sink..
Any suggestions?? Sorry if my ? sounds dumb, I'm a girl & I don't know any plumbing terms...


Thanks SOOO Much,

Rebecca

does your faucet have a spray nozzle? If so, check to make sure connection is tight on under side of faucet. IF yoiu could post a picture of the under side of faucet(in cabinet) it may help.

Hey Rebecca, Does this leak happen when you drain or turn on the faucet? Tell me exactly what's leaking.(see image). Tom

Take a large pail of water and pour it in sink. If leaks, there is a problem with the drain.

If u can post a picture, we will be better able to help u.

Good luck

Chuck

Nice pics Tom. And good advice from Chuck. Make sure to get the water from a different sink, or tub. Between Toms pictures and Chucks drain test, hope you can give us a little more info.
