Tool Tip:
A flashlight may come in handy if it’s dark inside your cabinetry!
Remember, most smart phones have flash light functionality.

If your sink is leaking, or causing a flood, you will need to turn the water supply OFF immediately.

To locate the hot and cold water, ON/OFF valves for your sink, open the cabinet door/doors under the sink, and look on the back panel.

Note: The location of the ON/OFF valves may vary, some are installed through back panel of the cabinet, others may be installed through the bottom of the cabinet.
