A Seattle homeowner contacted Bee’s Plumbing after noticing a leak beneath the kitchen sink and requested a professional leak test to identify the source. During the inspection, our plumber pressurized the plumbing system and carefully checked the piping under and around the kitchen sink. The inspection revealed a steady drip coming from the cold-water emergency angle stop, while the rest of the plumbing system remained leak-free.
To provide a long-lasting solution, we recommended replacing all three emergency angle stops, including the double-tap valve on the cold-water supply line. Aging shut-off valves are a common source of leaks, and replacing them helps improve reliability while making future plumbing maintenance easier.
While on-site, the homeowner also asked us to install a new kitchen faucet they had already purchased. Our technician completed the faucet installation, installed the new 1/2″ compression x 3/8″ compression quarter-turn emergency angle stops, replaced the additional compression emergency stop, and ensured all connections were properly secured.
Once the work was complete, the plumbing system was thoroughly tested under pressure to verify the repair. No leaks were found, and the new shut-off valves and kitchen faucet operated as expected. The homeowner now has a dependable, leak-free plumbing system and the peace of mind that comes with knowing the issue has been professionally resolved.
