Plumbing sidework anyone?
Kitchen sink has a pretty decent leak.The leak is coming from where a a copper elbow meets with a copper pipe.Pipes I'm assuming are 1 1/4-1 1/2 inches.This is beyond my plumbing abilities.
Any guys local to the Tiverton area? I have some important things to take care of at the moment but I will try to post a pic asap. |
I have a guy that works with me at the fire dept who is a plumber and does small stuff for friends. If you are on this site we must be friends. PM me your in fo and I will pass it along.

Is the nut that holds the waste line to the bottom of the sink tight?

Diagnosed the problem.The length between the PVC and the copper elbow is corroded and has a hole about half way down facing the camera.
I took a pic: |

Water feed pipes that big? Is that just the drain?

cut it out and replace it with PVC just a compression fitting.. if you need tools i'm around the corner from eagleville rd.

if you are in a bind and its really leaking, go buy some rescue tape, its a tape that only sticks to itself and holds to quite a few PSI it comes under multiple names. it will hold until the plumber gets there, or you get the tools and materials to fix it
