So I started noticing this weird musty smell under my bathroom sink. Took a closer look and saw water stains and a bit of swelling at the bottom of the cabinet. Turns out the P-trap was dripping slowly and the faucet supply lines weren’t sealed properly.
Here’s what I did to fix it:
First thing I did was remove the old P-trap. It was cracked and loose, so I swapped it out with a new PVC one I grabbed from Home Depot. Then I took apart the faucet lines and sealed them back with plumber’s tape. Tightened everything down properly this time.
Next, I dried out the cabinet with a fan for a full day to make sure there was no moisture left behind. The base was already damaged, so I cut a new piece of plywood, painted it with waterproof paint and dropped it in. I also added a plastic drip tray to catch anything in the future, and just for peace of mind, I threw in a small moisture alarm I found on Amazon.
Before, it was stained, swollen and just looked gross. After, it looks clean, solid and protected in case anything leaks again.
Total cost was around 34 bucks.
P-trap was cheap
Plywood and paint added up
Moisture alarm was like 12 dollars
Honestly if you’ve got cabinets under sinks, especially in older places, set up a drip tray and alarm. It’s way cheaper than replacing the whole thing later
