Leaky Pipes

[Richard Frick]

Hello everyone,
We have a leaky pipe in our kitchen that has been ongoing for months. It has been eight years since I bought this home. There were no leaking issues until this year. Leaky pipes can be more than just a nuisance, and they can damage floors and furniture. So, I'm looking forward to repairing it soon. There are two options for me, either fixing it on my own or hiring any plumber. Finally, I decided to call a plumber to fix the issue. Are there any other easy solutions you guys can suggest? Does anyone has faced a similar situation? How did you guys handle it? Please advise. It will be appreciated if you share your thoughts and suggestions!

What kind of pipes ??

While I'm not sure what you mean by pipe, either drain or fresh supply PEX, but I believe that most, not all, leaks are due to a loose fitting.
So you might want to hand tighten all of the fittings.
Just a place to start and it could save an expensive visit from a plumber.

Peace
Dave
