So, today I decided to fix a small leak in my kitchen sink… without asking for help. I thought, “How hard could it be? It’s just a loose pipe, right?” Well, I was wrong. I went to tighten the pipe under the sink, and before I knew it, the whole thing burst open. Water started spraying everywhere, and I panicked. I scrambled to turn off the water supply, but in the chaos, I knocked over a bunch of cleaning supplies, which then spilled all over the floor. Long story short, the kitchen got flooded, and I ended up needing a professional anyway. All I wanted was a quick fix, but now I’m left with a mess and an expensive bill.
Has anyone else ever tried fixing something themselves and made it 100 times worse? Any tips for not overestimating my handyman skills in the future?
TL;DR: Tried to fix a kitchen leak myself, flooded the whole kitchen, and now need a plumber. Should’ve called a professional from the start.
