    Pipe leak underneath the kitchen sink
    Hi,

    The pipe leaks between the black pipe and the copper pipe underneath the kitchen sink. When the faucet is turned on the water goes down the drain it leaks between the two. I think it would need to be saudered together?

    Hi Julia...

    Is the leak at a threaded fitting? If the fitting is threaded you may want to consider cutting out the copper and replacing everything forward with newer PVC pipe and fittings... no soldering involved!

    Let me know what you need...
