02 / 04Right now

Do this while you wait.

Steps that can save product, prevent damage, and shorten the repair once we are on site.

Do this
  • Shut off the angle stops under the sink
  • Place a towel and a pan to capture the drip
  • Note whether the drip happens only when water runs
Do not do this
  • Do not over-tighten plastic slip nuts — they crack
  • Do not run the disposal until the leak is fixed
