Kitchen Leak Repair Services:
Any homeowner who has experienced a leak in the kitchen knows just how annoying it can be both to find where that incessant dripping is coming from and to try to fix it. Is it coming from the faucet? Or perhaps the bottom of the refrigerator? No matter what, leaks aren’t just irritating – they can actually waste a lot of water and cost quite a bit of money each month. That’s why it’s worth it to get them fixed as soon as possible, which is where Pro1Mechanical comes in.
Pro1Mechanical plumbing professionals are equipped to handle any kind of kitchen plumbing issues you may need help with. When it comes to leaks, they’ll be able to determine where the leak is coming from and what’s causing it, as well as repair or replace the correct parts and fixtures to get your kitchen back to normal. There are some kitchen leaks you may actually be able to fix yourself, though. Here are a few common kitchen leaks and what may be causing them:
A leaking faucet
There are a variety of causes of kitchen faucet leaks, but to understand where your leak is coming from, you first have to figure out what kind of faucet you have. There are four types of faucets, each with a different valve: compression, ball, ceramic disc and cartridge. To determine the type of faucet you have, look at the instruction manual or warranty.
There are a few faucet repair tips you should keep in mind when trying to fix a leak. First, the most common causes for leaks are loose or damaged O-rings or washers. These can be replaced easily. If you have a cartridge faucet, you may need to replace the entire cartridge. Not sure how? Pro1Mechanical plumbers are equipped with all of the necessary parts to do the job quickly and easily.
A leaking garbage disposal
Garbage disposals are often misused, which is why garbage disposal repair is one of the most common jobs Pro1Mechanical professionals help homeowners with. If your garbage disposal is leaking, it’s likely from one of four areas: the main seal on the top, the dishwasher connection, the drain pipe or the body of the unit. Depending on where the leak is coming from, you’ll need to clean, repair or replace the main seal, the gasket, a dishwasher hose or the entire unit. Call a Pro1Mechanical plumber in your area if you need professional assistance.
A leaking dishwasher
Dishwasher leaks can be caused by everything from a damaged seal to using the wrong dish soap. These are typically a huge hassle for homeowners and their families, who rely on being able to use the dishwasher every day. Leaks often happen when the appliance can’t drain properly, usually because of a clog or buildup in the drain. Another common problem that can cause leaks is a loose or damaged valve on the drain hose. Pro1Mechanical professionals can help you repair, replace or install any aspect of your dishwasher, no matter the brand.
A leaking refrigerator
If your refrigerator is leaking, it usually has something to do with the defrost drain. When the drain becomes clogged or blocked, water isn’t able to move into the drain pan and instead starts leaking out of the bottom of the fridge. If that’s not the reason, it may be the result of a faulty connection between your kitchen’s water lines and the ice machine or water filtration system. Either way, Pro1Mechanical professionals can help you find the leak and fix it.

If you spot a leak
During your monthly inspection (or regular use of your bathroom), you may spot a leak. When this occurs, don’t panic. For big leaks where the water flow is significant, simply turn the water off and call a Pro1Mechanical plumber. Smaller issues you may be able to take care of yourself by replacing a seal, tightening a faucet or even cleaning out a fixture. There are many helpful websites and tutorials available to assist you with at-home plumbing. See what you can do on your own, but don’t hesitate to contact Pro1Mechanical when you feel that the job is too big for you and requires a professional. We can assess the situation and find ways to prevent the issue from occurring again.
