No matter what time of year it seems like kitchen sink pipes like to leek. WE at SERVPRO of Benton                     County get many calls about leeks from kitchen sink pipes. One of the new jobs we received was a kitchen sink pipe leaking, and the home owner was not aware of the leek until it leaked in to their daylight basement and ruined the insulation, and ceiling dry wall. The leek also caused damaged to the carpet, and carpet pad in the effected area. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind to avoid this situation .

1. Make sure you check once month under you sink for leeks.

2. Don't keep a lot of stuff under the sink, so it hard to notice if a leek is happening.

3. Line your cupboard with cupboard liner, so that it can protect from moister.

4. When the weather is below freezing leave you cupboard open it bit to get heat.

5. Do moister checks also once a month to make sure the wood/plywood is not wet.

If you run in to a kitchen sink leak that has cause damage SERVPRO can help. All you need to do is call.
