I keep my dishwasher pods under my sink. One night, I finished loading the dishwasher and went to grab a dishwasher pod and found the cabinet slightly damp. Having just renovated my kitchen, it seemed unlikely that it was a leak. I removed everything from under the sink, dried it with some towels, and replaced it all. When I was doing dishes, I obviously spilled some water over the ledge of the sink and it leaked through the cabinet door. Right?<\/p>\n
A little backstory: kitchen renovations are expensive. To combat this, my husband and I decided to do some of the work to cut down on the costs. It saved us thousands of dollars, but without the proper research, there are simple mistakes that were made in the process. Specific to this scenario: we used PVC pipes and plumber’s putty. These two should never be used together.<\/p>\n
