Kitchen Drain Line Leak

As a society, we put a lot of stress on our kitchen drain lines; especially since the creation of garbage disposals. The most common emergency call on Thanksgiving is a kitchen drain line backup from someone trying to use the garbage disposal to grind up the turkey remains! No joke. It is not wonder our kitchen drain lines crack and start leaking. They are not meant to withstand the pressures that we put them through. A kitchen drain line leak can happen any time of year; not just Thanksgiving. Sometimes a stress fracture caused at Thanksgiving time may not rear its ugly head until months later when that fracture breaks altogether. A drain line leak can create a lot of damage to kitchen cabinets, kitchen floors and even the rooms below the kitchen sink, such as a finished basement. Sometimes, if the drain line leak is minor, it can cause a lot of damage over a long period of time because it is a slow release of dirty water.
