Understanding Sink Components and Common Problems
Effective sink service requires understanding how these fixtures function and fail:
Faucet and Valve Systems
Kitchen and bathroom faucets control water flow and temperature through various valve types. Compression faucets using rubber washers eventually leak from washer wear. Cartridge faucets develop drips from cartridge deterioration. Ball faucets leak when seals wear. Ceramic disc faucets—the most durable type—eventually fail from disc damage or seal deterioration. Each valve type requires specific repair approaches.
Drain Assemblies
Sink drains include multiple components that can fail. Basket strainers in kitchen sinks trap food particles and sometimes leak at connections. Pop-up assemblies in bathroom sinks use linkages connecting handles to stoppers—these mechanical systems stick, break, or leak. Tailpieces connect sinks to P-traps and can corrode or separate. Any drain component failure creates leaks under cabinets threatening damage.
Supply Lines
Hot and cold supply lines connect shutoff valves to faucets. Older braided steel lines eventually fail. Modern flexible supply lines prove more reliable but still require periodic replacement. Supply line failures create significant leaks demanding immediate attention.
Basin and Mounting Systems
Sink basins themselves crack, chip, or separate from countertops. Drop-in sinks seal to countertops with caulk that deteriorates allowing water infiltration. Undermount sinks attach with clips or adhesive that can fail. Wall-mounted sinks hang from brackets that must support significant weight.
Garbage Disposals
Kitchen sinks often include garbage disposals adding complexity. These units jam, leak at connections, fail electrically, or wear out mechanically. Disposal problems affect sink function and require specialized attention.
Complete Sink Replacement Services
Sometimes replacement provides better value than repair:
Kitchen Sink Replacement
New kitchen sinks improve both function and appearance. We install drop-in sinks in existing cutouts, undermount sinks for sleek contemporary appearance, farmhouse apron-front sinks requiring cabinet modifications, and double-bowl or single-bowl configurations based on preferences. Material options include stainless steel, cast iron, composite granite, fireclay, and copper.
Bathroom Sink Replacement
Bathroom sink replacement often accompanies vanity updates or complete bathroom renovations. We install undermount sinks, drop-in sinks, vessel sinks, pedestal sinks, wall-mounted sinks, and console sinks with exposed legs. Material and style options suit any bathroom design from traditional to ultra-modern.
Sink and Faucet Package Installation
Coordinating new sinks with complementary faucets creates cohesive, functional installations. We help property owners select appropriate combinations and handle complete installation.
Kitchen Sink Repair Services
We address all kitchen sink problems:
Faucet Repairs and Replacement
Kitchen faucets face intensive use and exposure to food debris. We repair dripping faucets, replace worn cartridges or washers, fix low water pressure problems, repair or replace spray heads, address handle failures, and replace entire faucets when repair proves impractical. We work with all major faucet brands and can match finishes to existing fixtures.
Drain and Disposal Repairs
Kitchen drains handle grease, food particles, and soap creating unique clog challenges. We clear stubborn kitchen sink clogs, repair or replace basket strainers, fix disposal connections and mounting assemblies, address disposal jams and mechanical failures, and replace failed disposals when necessary.
Supply Line Replacement
Kitchen supply lines carry both hot and cold water under constant pressure. We replace deteriorated supply lines, upgrade from steel to flexible lines, repair shutoff valve leaks, and address any supply system problems.
Basin Repairs
Damaged kitchen sinks often require replacement, but some problems suit repair. We reattach undermount sinks that have dropped, reseal drop-in sinks to countertops, and repair minor damage when practical. Cracked or severely damaged basins require replacement.
Bathroom Sink Repair Services
Bathroom sinks face different challenges than kitchen units:
Lavatory Faucet Service
Bathroom faucets come in various configurations including single-hole, widespread, and wall-mounted styles. We repair all types addressing drips, low pressure, temperature control problems, handle failures, and pop-up drain assembly issues. Bathroom faucets often require matching finishes to other bathroom fixtures.
Pedestal and Wall-Mounted Sink Repairs
These space-saving designs present unique challenges. Pedestal sinks require both wall and floor mounting—we address stability issues and leaks. Wall-mounted sinks depend entirely on wall mounting—we ensure secure installation supporting full weight.
Vessel Sink Service
Contemporary vessel sinks sitting atop counters require specialized faucets and drain assemblies. We service these modern fixtures addressing their unique requirements.
Vanity Sink Repairs
Traditional undermount or drop-in vanity sinks face problems similar to kitchen sinks. We repair faucets, drains, and supply connections, and address basin damage.
New Sink Installation for Renovations
Kitchen and bathroom renovations often involve new sink installations:
Kitchen Renovation Support
Kitchen remodels typically include new sinks suited to updated designs. We work with contractors and homeowners to install sinks properly in new countertops, coordinate with cabinet installers ensuring proper support, connect to relocated or new plumbing, and ensure code-compliant installations.
Bathroom Renovation Support
Bathroom renovations frequently involve sink upgrades. We install sinks in new vanities, accommodate plumbing relocations, install wall-mounted or pedestal sinks requiring proper wall support, and coordinate with tile installers and contractors.
Adding New Sinks
Some projects involve adding sinks where none existed. Bar sinks, laundry sinks, or additional bathroom sinks all require new plumbing rough-in and connections. We handle these new installations from supply and drain line installation through final fixture mounting.
Commercial Sink Services
Commercial properties have specialized sink requirements:
Restaurant and Food Service Sinks
Commercial kitchens require three-compartment sinks, hand wash sinks, prep sinks, and other specialized fixtures meeting health code requirements. We install and service these commercial-grade fixtures ensuring code compliance.
Office and Retail Bathroom Sinks
Commercial bathrooms serve heavy usage requiring durable fixtures. We install and maintain commercial-grade lavatory fixtures designed for public use.
Utility and Service Sinks
Commercial properties often need utility sinks for maintenance and cleaning. We install these practical fixtures in appropriate locations.
ADA-Compliant Installations
Commercial properties must provide accessible fixtures meeting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. We install ADA-compliant sinks with proper clearances, mounting heights, and lever-style faucet controls.
Sink Service FAQs
Can you install my sink if I already bought it?
Yes, we install customer-provided sinks and faucets. However, we cannot warranty products we don’t supply. We inspect customer-provided fixtures before installation and advise if we see quality concerns.
How long does sink installation take?
Simple replacement installations in existing cutouts typically require 2-4 hours. New installations requiring plumbing modifications may take longer. We provide time estimates after evaluating specific situations.
Will new sink installation damage my countertop?
When replacing sinks in existing cutouts with same-size units, countertop damage is minimal. Switching sink types or sizes may require countertop modifications we discuss beforehand. We protect countertops carefully during all work.
Can you match my existing faucet finish?
We maintain relationships with major faucet manufacturers and can typically match common finishes like chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. Discontinued finishes may be difficult to match.
Should I repair or replace my old faucet?
This depends on faucet age, quality, and problem extent. Quality faucets with minor problems suit repair. Older low-quality faucets with multiple issues warrant replacement. We honestly assess situations recommending cost-effective approaches.
Do commercial sink installations require permits?
Commercial installations typically require permits from Los Angeles County. We handle all permitting requirements ensuring code-compliant work including proper air gaps, cross-connection prevention, and accessibility compliance when required.
