Our Method for Sink Installation
Before embarking on the sink drain replacement process, it's essential to ensure you have the appropriate drain assembly replacement that corresponds to the size of the old one, ensuring a watertight fit. We'll take precise measurements and assist you in locating the correct part for your sink.
Once you've selected your replacement, we'll initiate the repair. Firstly, we'll remove the old drain, carefully inspecting the P-trap pipe to determine if it requires replacement. This step is crucial for metal pipes, which can be susceptible to rust and corrosion over time. If your drain has a metal P-trap, we strongly recommend replacing it with an ABS pipe to prevent potential issues in the future.
When to Repair or Upgrade Your Sink
If you are experiencing any of the following issues with your sink, it may be time for a repair or a replacement:
- Persistent Clogs: Frequent blockages despite attempts to clean the drain may indicate underlying problems.
- Leaking Fixtures: Seepage from the pipes under the sink or the faucet.
- Visible Cracks or Chips: Damage to the sink basin that might result in leaks or additional degradation.
- Slow Drainage: If water is draining slowly, there may be some sort of obstruction or clog within the pipes.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul odors emanating from the drain indicate a buildup of debris or a probable obstruction.
