Air Gap Leaking Water | How To Fix Water Coming Out of Air Gap | DIY Home Maintenance

In this video I show you DIY home maintenance tips such as how to fix water coming out of air gap, what causes an air gap leaking water and how to trouble shoot and how to fix DIY repair. This condition is very common in homes i inspect because home owners or renters just do not know what the silver or white post (Air Gap) on the counter is causing confusion. Most occupants turn the air gap opening away from sink which causes major flooding in the kitchen when the hoses get clogged.

I have seen kinked hoses on new construction homes causing water to back up thru the air gap many times.
