Stop dryrot under sinks!

[Christian Morency]

Between tenants I always install a drainboard under any sink cabinets. I just put a 1x2 in the back against the wall and put in a new bottom with any scrap plywood or masonite. This creates a flow of water from the back to the front and onto the floor so the tenants will call you instead of letting it rot. Most tenants don't like "walking on water". If there are pipes coming in through the floor, I patch the holes with a pair of sissors, flashing and some construction adhesive.
