It’s been a gradual escalation over the last three months.
First, a faint drip under the sink.
Then, a slow drain that only got worse.
The plumber mentioned the fragile state of the plumbing then.
A week ago, the drip returned, with a tiny stain spreading on the cabinet floor.
Today’s warning was the first time he mentioned my cooking habits might be accelerating the damage.
Each step has been subtle but unmistakable.
Now, I’m bracing for the landlord’s inspection scheduled for next week.
I haven’t told them about the drip returning or the plumber’s warnings.
There’s a meeting set up where I’ll need to report on maintenance and possibly discuss repairs.
