Today is the day everyone one needs to get upnand go look under your sinks and check for leaks. Your going to have to unload all the stuff out from under the sink (maybe a good time to throw out some of the stuff you haven't used in awhile) you may need a flashlight also. Before you climb under the sink turn on the water and let it run from hot and cold at the same time . Now that you are all ready for inspection its time, there are a few things you need to check. The first thing you will see is the p trap, make sure the connections are snug and check for leaks or evidence of previous staining under p trap. Next you will look for the valves at the wall, feel for leaks and check that the fittings are snug at the waterline connection. Next you will want to inspect the drain tail piece and the base of the sink for leaks. A tip for checking all this is use a dry finger to run around the connections you also use tissue paper wrapped around the fittings, the water will wick right to it. Ok now you can reload the sink and move onto the next one.
