This last weekend we opened up the cabinet under our kitchen sink and saw water everywhere. The dishwasher was running and it was obvious where the water was coming from- the strainer was disconnected from the tailpipe. With some finagling, I was able to connect the two pieces, but then water began to leak from the strainer itself (see picture).
I thought maybe these two issues were somehow connected, and began to get worried. I had started to look at my plumbing books and was about to call a plumber when I took one more look at the situation. All I had to do was tighten the strainer, and the leak stopped. I never knew that piece had anything to tighten on it. So I’m glad I saved the money (and embarrassment) of calling a plumber.
