If you discover a leak in the plumbing pipes beneath your sink, act quickly to prevent cabinet water damage. First, place a bucket or shallow pan directly beneath the leak to catch dripping water, and close the individual angle stop water supply valves located on the wall to shut off pressurized flow. Wipe the pipes dry, inspect the slip-joint connections and P-trap, and hand-tighten loose nuts or replace worn rubber slip-joint washers. Verification: Open the supply valves and run the faucet to confirm that all joints are completely dry.
