I hired a handyman to change out my kitchen faucet, lines and valves yesterday. After he left, I noticed that the dual output hot water valve is leaking at the connection to the 3/8" copper pipe that goes to the dishwasher. I think it's a compression connection.
Any advice on how to rectify this?
He is coming back to do some other work today, and I really, really need this fixed correctly (my dad has cancer and I need to leave town for several months).
Also, in order to reach the new valve connection, he had to pull some (about 3-4 inches) of the copper pipe out from behind the cabinet. I can't see what's on the other side (i.e.- the connection to the dishwasher, and whether it may have been stretched or compromised). Should I be concerned at all? I ran the dishwasher and so far did not see any leaking, so I hope the connection is still okay. How much extra pipe is usually coiled up behind the cabinets?
Thanks!
