DOCKSIDE PLUMBING WILL HELP YOU TO CONSIDER A FEW THINGS WHEN DECIDING ON A SINK REPLACEMENT:
Regardless of the reasons for a sink replacement, Dockside Plumbing is ready to handle the new sink installation. A homeowner can’t go wrong by having a professional plumber to guide the process from sink selection, installation, and checking for leaks once the job is complete. Our job is to help make your home a better and more beautiful place to live!
- SINK DEPTH:
There is a limit to how deep your new sink basin can be. We have to consider where the trap curves or your sink could end up causing drain problems. We measure the pipe fitting between the drain trap and the drain basket, to help decide how deep your sink replacement can be.
- FIXTURES:
We make sure that your new sink selection has the proper number of holes cut into it to accommodate all of your fixtures, including faucets, handles, spray attachments, and soap dispensers.
- DRAIN ASSEMBLY:
Many people want to save money by only replacing the sink basin or faucet and don’t consider the drain assembly. Replacing the old piping and drain assembly can save time and money in the long run by having it replaced when the rest of the new hardware is installed.

Sinks are found in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, basement, and garage. We usually don’t give them much thought until they aren’t working correctly. Here are some of the common sink repairs are that may occur in your home, compiled in a list for reference:
- LEAKS: Leaks are the “most common” sink repair. Leaks can be anything from a persistent drip to a flowing of water, and unless you want to deal with a high water bill and potential water damage, it’s crucial to fix all leaks as soon as possible.
- PROBLEMS WITH THE P-TRAP: The u-shaped pipe under your sinks, also known as an S-trap or S-bend, keeps sewer gases from expelling into your home. Common issues that can develop with a P-trap are corrosion (in metal ones) misalignment, leaking, and breaks. Because this pipe deals directly with your sewer line, it’s imperative that any problems are resolved quickly.
- BROKEN CAULK: One of the significant tools used to keep water from going where it shouldn't be in a sink is caulk. Caulk also helps hold a sink in place and creates necessary seals around the sink, so if you see broken pieces of caulk, it’s essential to have an expert re-caulk those areas.
No homeowner enjoys wasting water, so, hiring an expert to attend to problems in a swift manner helps you, your plumbing, and the environment. Having issues with one of your sinks? Call Dockside Plumbing today and schedule an appointment for a professional sink repair service at (813) 702-5755.
