What causes water hammering in pipes and how can it be prevented?
Water hammering in pipes is caused by the sudden stoppage of water flow, which creates a shockwave that reverberates through the pipes. This can be prevented by installing air chambers, water hammer arrestors, or pressure-reducing valves to absorb the shock and regulate water pressure. Regular maintenance and ensuring proper pipe support can also help prevent water hammering.

Could the pipes burst if there is a groan when the toilet is flushed?
Yes they can. In general, however, the "groan" is not as bad as the "hammer." When water is suddenly forced through pipes containing a sharp bend, the water can hit the side of the pipe as if it's a wall. The force of the water can burst the pipes. Most modern plumbing fixtures account for this "hammering." But there are lots of old pipes out there too!
What is the layout of the kitchen sink pipes diagram?

My sink often gets a little water underneath because water trickles down the sprayer hose and underneath the sink when it isn't used properly.There are pipes (not visible) that are inside the wall. That may be the source of your leak. You would have to cut a hole near the draining water to inspect those pipes.ANS 3I see this a lot and the most common cause is the faucet set is leaking internally and seeping between the baseplate and countertop.
