What’s the best way to recaulk my kitchen sink?

Sunday, June 29th, 2008
TopRamen asked:


I have a ceramic kitchen sink that sits on formica. When we bought our house, we noticed that the caulking was old and there was some water seepage. We tried to recaulk but that didn’t work due to the moisture underneath. What would be a good way to fix this problem? I’m afraid if I just let it go, the formica and wood underneath will rot/warp causing more problems.

My kitchen sink is clogged, and we tried Draino, and it didn’t work. Any other suggestions short of calling a plumber.
