Kitchen Drain Leak

4 years ago

HI, I think I have a slow leak in my kitchen drainpipe that runs behind a cabinet and down between the floor joist of a finished ceiling. I don't want to tear the ceiling open if I don't have to.

My question is: Is it worth a chance to use Boiler Liquid stop leak or radiator stop leak work if I dump it down the drain?

Thanks, Bill

Sorry bill but your solution is not an option. Bite the bullet and have the leak fixed now and avoid further mold growth and water damage.
