Joe Finberg: The Leak That Almost Destroyed a Kitchen—and How It Could've Been Prevented

A while back, I got a call from a homeowner in the middle of a kitchen renovation. She noticed a soft spot in the floor near the sink, but figured it was just old flooring. Turns out, it was a slow leak that had been dripping for months. By the time we pulled the cabinet apart, the subfloor was soaked, mold was creeping in, and the entire project got delayed—plus cost her a few thousand extra.


That’s not rare. It’s actually the kind of thing I see all the time. And most of the time, it could’ve been caught early with a simple inspection.


The Plumbing You Can’t See Is the One That Costs You​


People often assume if water’s running and drains are draining, everything’s fine. But most plumbing problems don’t happen in plain sight. Pipes corrode inside walls. Fittings loosen under floors. A tiny drip that you don’t see adds up—gallons of water lost, materials ruined, and big repairs waiting to happen.


At Joe Finberg Plumbing, we focus on what’s behind the surface. We’re not just here to fix visible problems—we’re here to help you avoid the invisible ones.


Real Fixes, Not Quick Patches​


When we show up to a job, we take the time to do it right. That means checking the whole system, not just slapping a patch on the leak. We explain what’s going on, give honest options, and get the work done clean and correct.


I’ve also put together a quick guide for homeowners to help spot the early signs of plumbing issues. It’s the kind of advice I give my own family—simple, smart, and based on years of real-world experience.


Trust Your Local Pro​


I’ve been in this trade for over 20 years, and I treat every home like it’s my own. No cut corners. No mystery fees. Just solid plumbing done with care.


So whether you’re dealing with a slow drain, planning a remodel, or just want peace of mind before problems pop up—Joe Finberg Plumbing is ready to help.

Don’t wait for a disaster. Let’s get ahead of it.
