    Gasket leaking under bathroom sink
    I had a leak under my sink yesterday. A plumber came and replaced a gasket. It worked fine for a while and started leaking intermittently today.

    Should I turn the water valves off under the sink Justin case, especially when I am at work?

    Please advise

    Where is the "gasket "? On the water supply or drain? If supply, yes turn it off. If drain, you can leave it on.

    Is this a supply leak or a drainage leak? Call your plumber back and have him repair the leak. Let us know if we can help. Good luck, Tom
