That bend under the sink is the trap. The nuts on it are meant to be hand tight. We see plastic nuts cracked because someone went after them with pliers. If the drip is at a nut, back it off and look at the washer. A washer that is split or flattened gets replaced. Hand tight, then a quarter turn. If the pipe itself is cracked, the trap gets replaced. A towel under the cabinet is not a repair.

Around Leitchfield, that drip turns into a swollen cabinet bottom if it sits for a week. The washer is the first thing we check.

𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲, 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗴?

A squeak is almost always a dry hinge pin. We tap the pin up, wipe the rust off, put a little dry lubricant on the pin, and set it back in. Oil sprayed across the hinge runs down the paint. If the door only sticks when the weather is humid, do not plane the edge. Planing a summer swell leaves a gap when the air dries. Tighten the hinge screws first. A screw that spins in the jamb is the tell that the hinge is loose, not that the door is too big.

Around Leitchfield, that pin takes five minutes. A planed edge takes a winter of drafts to regret.

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿?

A brown ring is water that dried. Paint covers the mark and leaves the leak. We look at what sits directly above the stain before we open the drywall. If it grows after a hard rain, it is usually the roof or the flashing. If it shows up after a shower upstairs, it is usually that bath, the supply line, or the fl**ge under the fixture.

A ring that is still getting bigger is an active leak. A ring that stays the same through a dry week can be opened as a small spot so we can see which way the wood is stained. Around Leitchfield we would rather find that than paint over a wet board above the ceiling.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀?

A lake house can sit empty for months. The deck stays out in the weather the whole time. We get called in the spring for a soft spot where the deck meets the house. It usually started as wet leaves packed in that joint, or a planter and a cushion that held water all winter.

Pull the cushions and tip anything that holds water. Clear that joint at the wall. If a board is already soft there, that is the repair to plan before a freeze, not in April.

Around Leitchfield, that one walk before you lock the door is the winter close we would rather do than open the ledger in the spring.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹?

A downspout that dumps against the foundation keeps the sill wet after the rain stops. We turn that shoe out past the drip line before we paint the band. Water that sits at the wall finds the lowest joint. A splash block that faces the house is the same problem.

Around Leitchfield an October rain shows the dark band at the corner first. The paint is not the drain.

An outside faucet can look shut and still hold water in the pipe. We close the valve inside the house, then open the bib and let that line drain. Water left in the short run freezes and splits the fitting. The leak shows up in the wall, not at the handle.

Around Leitchfield we check that shutoff before a cold night. A bib that still drips is not drained.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻?

A bath can look dry while the window next to it holds water. We check the sill before we paint that wall. A sill that stays wet means water is getting past the frame. Paint on that spot swells the drywall behind it.

Around Leitchfield we open the window and see where the water sits. A wet sill is not finished.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘁?

A bath floor can look finished and still be loose underneath. We tap the tile before we call that floor done. A hollow sound means the thinset never grabbed. Water finds that gap and sits under the finish.

Around Leitchfield we pull the loose tile before the next bath goes in. A floor that moves is not done.

𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗶𝘁?

A toilet that rocks is already losing its seal. We set a level on the bowl before the bath floor goes in. If one side of the base lifts, the fl**ge is not holding the bowl. A new floor around that movement traps the leak under the finish.

Around Leitchfield we reset the bowl before the last tile goes down. The floor is not the seal.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿?

An addition can meet the old house with a dip at the doorway. We set a straightedge across that joint before we lay the finish floor. A dip means the new framing settled or the old sill is soft. Finish flooring over that dip shows the drop.

Around Leitchfield we check that joint before the last board goes down. The new floor is not the structure.
