Hello everyone!
I am looking for some guidance on how to approach an unexpected plumbing problem...So that past few days I started noticing a little bit of water in the middle of the kitchen floor, I checked the sink to see if it had been leaking and when I saw that it wasn't I just assumed that my dog who is the most reckless water drinker on this earth probably was the cause of the mysterious puddle.
Fast forward to today, and I notice the puddle again and it is much larger this time, and I can see that it is actually coming from the wall behind a kitchen cabinet drawer I notice that indeed water is leaking in from that bottom drawer, not the drawer above it nor the one next to it. As I am investigating further I go outside directly on the other side of the wall from the leaking drawer I find that the.... cleanout plug(?) looks to be leaking as well. So now whenever the sink drains it leaks,.....I don't know what to do!
*Like damn near everyone else in the country I am unemployed due to the pandemic, and since I am self-employed Unemployment Insurance still isn't available in my state and I ran out of money a week ago, I can't afford to pay someone to fix this so I am going to have to fix it myself and I am no handyman, If anyone can point me in the right direction I will be eternally grateful and if there is any more information or pictures that I should provide let me know!
*Apologies for the unrelated tangent needed to vent a little. Thanks for reading,
