Any ideas? Elaine 2009-10-05T11:57:55Z 2010-07-23T09:22:17Z <p>I wanted to check in with you regarding an issue I'm having with the kitchen sink. For the past few months, the water coming from the kitchen faucet (and only the kitchen faucet) has had a distinct smell of mildew. The smell is worse when the water hasn’t been run for a while, leading us to think that there is an issue somewhere in the kitchen plumbing that is contaminating the water when it sits in the pipes. I have taken apart the faucet and cleaned what I can, but it hasn’t helped. </p>
